Photos show a crater that sprawls across two lanes and stretches into an intersection.

The city is literally falling apart but its lefty mayor is busy putting wi-fi into public housing!
What do you think is the collective impact of all the negative remarks generated here? What if you could just go back to reading news rather than becoming pompous, pious and pontificating?
The utilities, services and infrastructure in NYC is on average over 100 years old. Its time for a complete overhaul and replacement. There are buildings collapsing due to gas explosions; manhole covers blown off due to steam leaks; main line sewer / water leaks resulting in ground collapse etc – all becoming more common. A total lack of replacement & maintenance regime has made this city like a third world country. Just look at the decrepit subway tunnels/platforms. Just look at the abominable state of the roads / bridges.
These are the issues the Mayor (& President?) should be addressing – which would also be a huge boost to the economy & show that NYC is in the 21st century.
