Lmao, I live in Manhattan on rather significantly less than 400k with a family. I'd be eating fucking lobster every day on 400k, granted I don't have 4 kids, weird metric to use
I'll see if I can grab a picture of the areas in my local where the water has been dripping on the floor for so long it forms mineral deposits an inch high
The NYC subway system has the potential to be excellent, but is resting on its laurels (and struggling due to climate change). The freedom the system brings you is a beautiful thing, too. It's a good system with fantastic aspects (express services) but is held back due to deferred maintenance and awful governance.
Absolutely, it's just really sad what decades of systemic neglect have done to it. Don't get me wrong, I love the subway. I haven't owned a car in over a decade. It's just that the daily experience of being in the physical infrastructure is generally pretty grim
