why are the state police even there? can he fire him? seems like political malpractice

“penn station doesn’t announce their tracks until 10 minutes prior to departure” is not a valid criticism. a train station with long gaps between train arrivals / departures is not well used. off peak though probably could do a bit better than 10 minutes

not idea what’s physically possible but widening the Hilton passageway with good signage, adding more open space in general on the lower level and extending the central corridor to njtransit / amtrak tracks would help a lot. worst current issues are with njtransit

as the crowds get in the way of others. the plus side of penn is there’s multiple entrances to the platforms ( 4 for lirr, 3 for njtransit ) and fairly fast to get down if you know the layout and transfer between trains

my unpopular opinion is Penn Ststion is ugly but almost functional. main issues are (1) poor signage between RR agencies ( though the exit concourse entrance at least says all tracks) (2) passageways too narrow

the kings cross comparison is silly because it’s a terminal station but St. Pancreas has the same issues to thru running Thameslink ( and Eurostar but that has security / border control issues)

the LIRR to Amtrak connection is really fast ( way better than say, Kings Cross in London because that’s a terminal and each service is separated) although confusing. it’s not worth reducing amtrak frequency north of penn. maybe just the amtraks that terminate at nyc could go to jamaica?

well for short haul flights there aren’t many flights out of JFK. I fly regularly out to Toronto and it’s mostly LGA, some EWR flights but it’s too far from me. NYC gets a ton of international visitors and most of those fly into JFK ( about half of JFK).

i’m too much of a hiker to not do the same. id still take public transit within city, but i’m obviously not the average person and more into transit. i imagine there’s plenty of one car families in seattle. i think that’s the norm in vancouver too

the weird contrast is Vancouver: same drug decriminalization as Portland and similar fentanyl issues, homeless population but sheltered rates closer to nyc than seattle. downtown didn’t really have a decline in retail nor an uptick in crime @dawe.bsky.social

political culture resulted in more de policing ( though the blame might be more on the police but it’s more activisty) and there was always a large homeless problem that went from unsightly nuisance to dangerous feeling.

their tech oriented economies lent itself to remote work, 🧑💻 which weakened their downtowns ( nyc and many european city center could probably survive with few office workers, just on people going out + residents shopping but that’s not the west coast).

most improved might be some city that was very bad and still is. Detroit? Baltimore? I don’t think many cities have had huge improvements since 2010; the big gains were late 90s and 00s. gains in 10s, declines this decade

Portland had a higher crime uptick, and downtown was always weak job wise and just a lower density, less centralized city where it was easy to drive if people wanted to. so was easier to fall
