At this point I have no idea why anybody would want to live in New York City. The city government decided to close much of the city’s economy so people wouldn’t catch the flu. The city has been rendered unlivable.
After forcing numerous businesses out of business, there is far less tax revenue coming in. This means the city will have to cut budgets or even suspend basic city services.
Take for instance what’s happened with trash removal. The city is overflowing with garbage because they slashed the city’s sanitation budget by millions of dollars.
Trash has been piling up all over New York City less than a month after the sanitation department’s budget was slashed by millions.
If you’ve been noticing more trash spilling out of the baskets on each corner later or rolling on the streets like tumbleweeds even more than usual, you’re not alone.
“Now it’s more than ever,” said Stella Pando, in Hamilton Heights.
“It’s outrageous. A lot of rats come in, a lot of mice, roaches. They gotta do something about this,” Hector Vasquez, of Harlem, said.
Two raccoons were spotted feasting on an overflowing bin the other night outside a Hamilton Heights playground.
“The city right now, and especially in New York, we’re being hailed for doing so great with public health and all these things, but I don’t think you can say we’re doing that well with public health ’cause when you have garbage everywhere, it’s also a public health issue,” said Adam Goldenberg, of Harlem.
In June, the city cut $106 million from the sanitation department‘s budget, reducing pickup for public litter baskets by 60%.
The Jew Goldenberg makes a good point. The city used the force of government to close businesses in the name of public health but now doesn’t have the resources to deal with basic sanitation. This is obviously not good for public health because it greatly increases the risk of disease spreading.
The situation is utterly insane. We can only hope that the lack of trash removal services will cause the city’s Jewish population to relocate to Israel. Even though that is probably wishful thinking, that would be one of the few good things that could potentially come of this.
