Even if you could afford to run enough ferries to make a dent, which you can’t, they simply don’t have the bandwidth.
Some people tried to make the math work for the L shutdown and even if you had a line of ferries just following each other as close as safely possible it wouldn’t be nearly enough. Subways are incredibly efficient at moving large numbers of people.

Cities should have a planning timeframe for infrastructure improvements with a horizon longer than a couple years.

Well, yeah. And they should probably be having discussions based on something beside snarky retorts and popcorn-throwing too, I guess.
But I guess those discussions will need to happen elsewhere.
Which is, well, hugely significant when you think about it.
