Lax oversight, dubious testing in water tanks pose health risks

New York City is expensive, insolvent, and corrupt; it boggles the mind to hear that people still bother to live and do business there.

If you have the income to live in a New York City high rise, you should have the pride not to pay some scumbag to live in one with an unmitigated biohazard on the roof.

And of course, you and I both know that you'll be the first and only person in New York City who cared whether you were drinking clean water or not.

It's actually the largest city in the country, so clearly there's a demand for it. Which might have to do with it being the most important and vibrant city in the history of global civilization.

When reality is inconsistent with logic, it's time to check your assumptions.

I've been all over the US, NYC is a dump of colossal proportions, a train wreck happening in (maybe not so) slow motion. I live in Europe and parts of Manhattan reminded me of the third world. Hype / reality distortion have a lot to do with NYC being perceived as "vibrant" or "most important".

I've vacationed in new york city and I agree. Even the "nice parts" are crowded and shabby.
