If any city in the U.S. is close to being paved with gold it’s NYC - only in NYC you the streets are nowhere near gold.
The gold streets were probably earmarked at one point in time, and the money paid out for gold paving, but somewhere along the line everyone turned the other way and don’t know where the money went.
This happens a lot in NYC, especially with the many public services that need money to survive and be a safe place for the public.
The more money the City (and State) approves for just about any given publicly financed organization, the more money it needs. Just about all of them know how to throw their money out the windows and flush it down toilets before the first syllable to “fubar” can be uttered.
All of this wasted money is tax payer money in one form or anther. Whether it be through income, commercial, real estate, billings taxes or even the loans that the tax payers of the future will have to pay off, no matter what, it goes to waste.
Bottom line, living in NYC you get to see your hard earned money be spent on things that you can obviously see will wear down, break easily or flat out be the complete wrong thing for the place that it is located just about everywhere you look.
Best option of choice, spray bleach in your eyes on a daily basis until you can no longer see, but even this option is not a good or recommended one - you can only go ahead, grind your teeth and smile that one day you’ll be far, far away from this whole mess.
