They are probably used to it. During summer there is trash bags on the side of the street cooking and releasing a criminal odor.
SF isn‘t different. After six months in lockdown, the first time I went back to SF, it took me a big to get used to the smell of the mission.

Seriously. Unless a bear was chasing me I wouldn't go in there. Are the trains even going?

Apparently the area is experiencing severe flooding because of the heavy rain
Poor lady is probably just trying to go home lol. However, the next closest station isn't THAT far...
You can see a train running in the background of the video.

Used to happen in my city until they stopped fooling around and built proper storm drain reservoirs to hold storm water and then release it slowly.
The problem is cities don’t allow soil to soak storm water and during severe storms the water gets into the sewer and overflows back up the surface.

Subways are exclusive to big cities, are special which is why I don’t feel sympathy for when they get flooded or destroyed.

Well, with this much rain, I am not surprised. It happened many times before.
The rain the other day - past week or so, after that heatwave - it was pretty something though. Maybe I can count a few times over my 20+ years in the city... and whenever it rained that much, the subways were almost always flooded.
What bothers me more though - is people going into that water. Damn. It's so filthy!
Even on cleanest days - the tracks are dirty, with big rats roaming around. Mental people jerking off, and oh the smell when a homeless person let go of himself in that corner of the subway, which also tends to have broken AC unit, and everyone's jam-packed to other cars like sweaty sardines. The water there, essentially is the juice from all that stuff.
I'm Asian as well, so whenever I see and hear that some Asians got pushed to the rail or beat up or whatnot in the subway - I really don't feel safe in NYC subway. It's something that I'm not looking forward to get back to, once whole remote is over. Hopefully I can still drive in and keep my sanity. Once my work place moves from upper west to downtown in few years... I'm not sure what to do. I hope I can keep doing the remote and keep the commute at minimum.

Thats a pretty shit take.
Subways are very expensive to build and maintain, thus they are only economically viable in large cities.
People depend on them.

This has been happening all over the tri-state area for the past 10 years. We've routinely been getting hit with flash floods, nothing like we've seen before. Normally, I'd say it's the constant commercial and residential development, which results in the removal of natural sources where the water can be diverted and absorbed, but Manhattan has always been a concrete and hollowed out island.
Something is terribly wrong with the weather.

Could be more house building = more taxation on old pipes to drain water which results in this.
I believe london has the same issue, everything was made for like 1/3th of the population yet they keep cramping everything into it.
That water is filthy. I can't imagine any good reason to go into it.

It's like.. one stupid staircase; the trains aren't flooded or anything.

I live in NYC and this kind of shit is common for the MTA. As posters have said, I too am wondering who the fuck would even dare to go in with the 3rd rail on.

So it is okay? I don’t know what you are getting at. Some people depend on the subway to work and their job is so important to them they are willing to risk their health for it.

There is a tropical storm happening... no it's not "OK", but it's a weather event.. that staircase is poorly designed, but obviously was fine the other 100 storms that have past through.

People in this thread say it is a common occurrence. I don’t think this complacency is good. The state of subways and other infrastructure in America is awful and in situations like this, it might pose a risk to the health of the residents.
However, anybody affected by this suffers at home or in a hospital, not on camera, so we don’t really get upset at our government for it.

What happens if the toilets are hit? I’d advise the mayor to evacuate the city.

The state of infrastructure in this country is a result of pissing away money on a GRAND scale. My state has been working on constructing a redesigned interstate entrance/exit intersection for, I kid you not, 10 years. The biggest reason things never actually get fixed is because everything has to filter down through layers and layers of bureaucracy before resources are actually delivered to where they are needed. And every layer takes a cut, so by the time the money reaches the problem, it’s a fraction of what it’s supposed to be.
You’ve got politicians, unions, environmental lobbies, special interests, permits, consultants, lawyers. And by the time anything moves through the regulatory system, which takes years, the regulations have changed and often times the whole project has to be reevaluated. It’s a fucking disaster. And all along the way there are people getting paid who, worse than contributing nothing, get paid just to stand in the way. It’s literally they’re job to keep things from happening. It’s little wonder things fall apart.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just walk to the next station along or take alternative transport.
It's baffling.

Why would peoples risk their lives rather than either walk or take a taxi? It’s not worth it. One small cut in that filthy water and you’re playing Russian roulette with your life. Imagine the rats in there..

This is the truth.
Many cities that are growing rapidly are screwed by bureaucracy. For example Boise idaho is in major need of road infrastructure because of how fast its grown the past few years but they are working on projects approved 4 years ago. How are they supposed to handle the massive boom they’ve had the past two years?
We need to find a way to streamline the process which will only be done with a private city.... maybe something like Starbase which is being built in Texas.

I think he’s just commenting on the fact that the sanitation worker was about to be assaulted for trying to prevent a man from shitting in his mop bucket.
