If Governor Andrew Cuomo’s continued blithering idiocy manages to stall Amtrak’s Gateway tunnels until after one or both of the Hudson River Tunnels fails,
and if Mayor Bill De Blasio and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton succeed in wiping out the Times Square pedestrian plazas, one of America’s most successful urban street interventions, over a handful (sorry) of boob-related incidents,
please, please, please, do not all move to Philadelphia at once. There are eight million of you, and as we are in the midst of proving, we have problems when more than a half million people or so show up at any one time. (We will totally take that first half million, though.) Also, you seem to have a penchant for electing dumb fuckups who ruin everything, and that is about the last thing we need to do.
More in sympathy than in gloating,
