Important caveat is that since then, we’ve damned many rivers and built many reservoirs to capture the runoff. Those were also at historic lows thanks to the drought, so it would take a lot to overcome that deficit and produce such terrible flooding again. Not saying it can’t happen, but it would take a lot. Also, the Dollop did a great episode on the great flood.

He absolutely did NOT run a grassroots issues focused campaign. I didn’t get my turn out the vote call until litterally two or three days before Election Day. Laticia James got ahold of me a week before that clown. He mailed a few flyers during the primary and then I never heard from him again. I saw zero signs, heard zero ads, and received next to zero mailings. He was a bad candidate, that’s why he lost a heavily democratic district to a scam artist and a clown.

¿Por qué no los dos?

This is New York City, we’ve got friggen Wall Street, we got Saudi princes’ real estate holdings, we’ve got billionaires and actors as residents, don’t tell me there isn’t enough money for both.

Besides, a new train comes out of the MTA’s budget and a new park comes out of the city budget.
