'Course you gotta use your own money for that, but then at least it will happen. After all--- this is the liberal east coast where all money is free. ROAR

Each state would stand on its own and be totally self-sufficient. Currently the "blue" states subsidize the "red" states when comparing tax revenues and federal disbursements to states. I wonder how that might work.

What will the tunnels cost/ Even at full corrtuption rates (50% BS, 50% actual results) were talking reducing the un needed F35s by maybe half a dozen or so. Of course that will infuriate both the DOD vendors who live off these sales, and their bought pols who can ALWAYS find money for their patrons. As to money being free it was the GOP majority which spent "off budget" funds on the Afghan and Iraq misadventures. And if you pay few taxes (the oligopolists) but control the spending, what's the problem? Paraphrasing Ms. Leona Helmsley about paying taxes--oh, those are only for the little people. There is plenty of m,oney, it just needs to be expropriated from the tax evading super rich.

And Amtrak will in turn deny the MTA use of their trackage and LIRR now has to terminate trains at Woodside, Jamaica and Atlantic Terminal. I don't think that would rally solve anything.

Though Im sure they cannot route all of their services to the new spot..Im quite sure they so understand that fully 3/3rds of Could use Grand Central comfortablely. One of the reasons the Atlantic Branch is going full crossboro shuttle is the aboves increased service requirements.

The difference is that while both are from NY, the state supported FDR in both the 1932 and 1936 elections whereas NY voted against Trump so the Donald isn’t about to help out a state that didn’t choose to support him.

I say use eminent domain on all of Trump's properties in New York State to build parks. He won't even miss them, since he spends all his time in Mar-a-Lago. Hell, maybe we can even set up a swing bridge across the Hudson, where the West Side yards used to be. It'll be really low, but what's the tallest ships north of midtown? Circle Line?

Politics aside, if Amtrak owns it, then Amtrak is responsible for maintaining it. I owned an apartment building for quite a few years and if something needed to be fixed or replaced I did the work, not my tenants. Further, I didn't expect any assistance of any kind from them. They paid me rent for my services & to provide a decent living environment. Since the Feds (Amtrak) hold title to all this, it is the Landlord's OBLIGATION to maintain the property. Additionally, this is not something new. The concrete was deteriorating long before the seawater accelerated the process. It is just another piece of evidence to add to the countless pieces that illustrate the abject incompetence of both houses of Congress to solve the Amtrak funding problem. I fear that even the major disruption that the breach of these bores would cause to the NATIONAL economy won't teach these losers to take the disaster that is the NEC cost shell game seriously.
