The Race to Save New York's Crumbling Infrastructure

It’s Sunday morning into afternoon, chilly and rain watching this eating my bacon, egg and cheese (mozzarella) with Coffee watching this video of my City… incredible!

Oh my god this is such a joke. I’ve been to the new LaGuardia and none of the food has changed at all. There are some new restaurants that offer like steaks and filet mignon and stuff for $200 a plate but if you’re keto vegetarian or anything else there’s nothing for you but a bag of chips they just have stores that sell the bag of chips now wtf 😂😂😂😂😂

Awesome viewing love it lots of information ❤❤❤❤ I never visit New York , but it’s on my wish list

Blame Boomers generation for failing to invest in the future, they just took all the cash and made out like bandits!!!

If they really wanted to fix Penn Station, they would demolish the monstrosity that is MSG and rebuild the original station. The blue prints still exist.

The race has been over since the 70s. New York is a remnant of glory days long gone. NYC will never be renovated..

As a person who live out west it ishard to understand NYC problems when they have hard to get federal funds . The western states have only one seat in congress, how many NYC have

Take 100bn cut from military budget and modernize the country ... ?

is JFK next??

Alter im vergleich zu ner deutschen doku.... Ist ja grottenschlecht :/

No wonder people in New York are angry, mean people !!
Ill stay in North Dakota. Dont move here either . We like it peaceful!!!!

I would like to win that contract

The fact that the subway doesn't run to either JFK or LaGuardia just tells you how hard it is to do anything in NYC. Both airports should've had Subway lines going directly to the airports decades ago and maybe even LIRR lines. That is why Newark is the best airport for Manhattan access, EWR is built right next to the NEC main line and the airport's people mover goes right to the train station, NJT will get you to Penn station in 15-20min depending on time of day.

Do not forget to mention that it was one single man: governor Christi of New Jersey that blocked the Gateway project when the matching Federal money came through (for whatever NY-NJ construction bonds could generate)? Without his criminal act, the Gateway would be approaching completion by now.

Still waiting for more Chicago videos

During the 90’s I worked for the Port Authority Aviation Dept. LGA was like a step back in time. There were still smoking sections, decor from the 50’s, the Shuttle was a nice touch but because the Airport is surrounded by water the fog, geese on the short runways & traffic getting out there caused continued delays.

where did the money go to fix this stuff stuff 20-40 years ago

$200 billion dollar plus budget and yet , infrastructure is failing. Where is the money going should be the question investigated.

Very synonymous with the state of the country. America today reminds me of Soviet Union in 1988. A few more years and the world will be free of this last colonial empire holding back the world.

Why would anyone live here? Please explain

Keep it up Fred, this is great work!. Keep it up Fred, this is great work!.

Not a New Yorker, but I'm fascinated with the city and would love to visit someday. But wouldn't an express subway between LaGuardia and JFK also help LaGuardia's various problems, and help people needing connecting flights using both airports? I don't 'reckon' that idea really helps New York's failing infrastructure problems, but it still might help those two airports and their customers in various ways. I also 'reckon' taxi drivers might not appreciate such a transport, but that's progress. Anything that helps transportation to be more efficient. During the Vietnam war I had a 12 hour layover in NYC, but I was afraid of missing my flight (and of the city) so I stayed at JFK. It would've been cool to trip across Queens to LGA on dedicated subway just to explore. NYC is so cool!

Just thinkin'...

Lmao at calling Robert Moses "controversial" when I just listened to the 2-parter on Behind the Bastards about what an absolutely insane and horrible person he was. He loved institutional racism as much as he hated public transportation, and ruined New Yorkers' ability to travel efficiently

Robert Moses destroyed countless neighborhoods and helped promote terrible urban planning ideas.

But they spend 2 billion on housing migrants in 5 star hotels

They put lipstick on a pig. There is nothing done to change no mass transit to Manhattan and they have the same small runways.

That guy from updating is on here

cool

Imagine if America stopped sending all that money to Israel! Think how great America could afford to be.

Horrible place and it stinks

The city is failing, and it's been happening for decades, and it will never stop. The largest cities in the world are also failing at various speeds. This has been foretold. Do your own research on it. Starting with the Bible.

GOODLUCK🤣🤣🤣

Maybe building a city on an island is not such a good idea

Visited NYC and it was a one and done kinda thing. Kudos to anyone that lives there..

What can I say of the geniuses that allowed the original Penn Station to be demolshed.....

Cuomo was gonna fix LaGuardia but they created false rape accusations against him.

Has anyone asked if New York is worth saving?

You know what? That woman is a whole inconvenience

USA needs to discover a new technology... TRAINS, METRO

His accent is absolutely hilarious. I <3 british because they are so funny. Saying this guy is english makes it sound classy. It's so hard to take it seriosuly.

Talk about sound bytes!

Bring more migrants in n take the money from upstate to feed the migrants n don’t worry about infrastructure because the democrats don’t care

More than half of this is old news. You didn't mention the completion of major projects in Manhattan. One issue with MSG is, no one likes the new owner, which is why the Garden is considered dead meat with most people. It's going somewhere, nobody knows where yet. There is already a new building blocking the garden right now (that you didn't show). The Penn Hotel across the street has been demolished in record time.

I beat you here too jason

LaGuardia sucks. Made the mistake of flying there once instead of JFK. Never again.

офигенный ролик

The US will spend billions on its Military, Space Program and its Golf Courses - but not on its Roads, Rail, Bridges and Tunnels - Which seems odd, as without these roots, the Cities and Towns will fail and people could die.

Repeats they may be, I do not give a toss, I love these longer videos nonetheless!
Who needs TV, right?
