I haven't lived in NYC for over a decade at this point, but I happen to remember that the G train was a fucking myth. Living in Bed-Stuy meant you either had to get home before like 10pm (which, it's fucking NYC...the bars are open until 4am) or you'd likely have a 30-90 minute wait for the train.
I hope that they build these lines, and also increase service on the G train. That was a damn nightmare.

It's not as bad as it used to be.

No way, damages The Living Earth & Some Living Beings.
I have never been in NY, let alone the city, & let alone lived in there.
A lot of other things would so much better,
Population & Density controls/regulations would not be popular, but would work the best.

Our only hope re: global warming is to live increasingly in large dense cities. They are just more efficient energetically and financially. Spreading out in smaller enclaves is too costly for the world.
