Editorial: "De Blasio's Subway Follies"
Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Jul 23 13:03:26 2017 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr Written by a rabbi. July 23, 2017 De Blasio’s Subway Follies By Avrohom Gordimer It seems like a rerun — but maybe this time, people will have learned their lesson. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Chairman Joe Lhota aren’t getting along too well these days. Lhota, who ran on the Republican ticket for mayor four years ago and was unfortunately defeated by de Blasio, is now again challenging de Blasio on a new quality of life issue — subway garbage, which has become such a problem that it caused a major subway track fire last week, resulting in many injuries and awful transit delays. (There are numerous New York City subway track fires per year.) Lhota was recently tasked to clean up the MTA — after having manned the MTA’s infrastructure restoration following Hurricane Sandy — and one of the ideas he floated was to restrict eating on the subway. The subway already has a disgusting excess of garbage and rats, and it was garbage littered onto the tracks in a Harlem subway station which caused the recent track fire and massive delays. Lhota’s suggestion certainly sounds reasonable. It will not solve all subway problems, but it may prevent some of them and can thus make subway travel safer and cleaner. Seeing that New York City has been experiencing a terrible decline in quality of life — not to mention a spike in subway crime — one would expect de Blasio to reply to Lhota, “Thanks, Joe. Wish I would have thought of that myself.” Instead, de Blasio rejected Lhota’s idea and responded: “From 1979 to 1999, I did not own a car and got around almost exclusively by subway — it would have been in those years inconceivable to not be able to eat on the subway, just because of life. Because we’re all incredibly busy in the city, because the time on the subway is often the only time you have to eat… I don’t think it’s fair to people to say you can’t eat on the subway… I think in a lot of ways we need to encourage people to not be sloppy when they’re on the subway, but I can’t imagine personally the idea of people not being allowed to eat on the subway in a place as busy as this.” What? Not fair? And it is fair to engage in a practice that endangers and bothers other riders, creates messes, and invites rats? I personally have a very busy job and a very busy life in New York City, and I take a long subway ride to and from work each day, yet I somehow never felt a need to eat my breakfast or dinner on the subway. What’s de Blasio talking about? And now, de Blasio is being attacked by both New York State Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo and by the MTA’s Republican Chairman Joe Lhota for refusing to adequately fund the subway system. Rather than contribute some of the city’s $4 billion surplus toward subway funding, de Blasio rejected the idea, as he instead continues to generously pour the city’s money largely into the cups of special interest groups (with the help of the socialist City Council speaker, Maria Mark-Viverito). De Blasio, the far left, liberal-progressive mayor, whose basic platform has been one of assisting the underclass to the exclusion of all others, does not even take subways anymore. He instead is driven (and flown) around, including a daily chauffeured SUV ride to a gym very far from the mayoral mansion. Contrast this with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who took the subway to work and back every day (and who opted not to live at Gracie Mansion, in order to save the city money), and Mayor Rudolf Giuliani, who regularly took his son to baseball games via the subway. Like many leftists, whose economic policies are not geared toward the interests of the majority and are instead focused almost entirely on those who receive public assistance, de Blasio is an elitist whose personal lifestyle is anything but like the lifestyle of those whom he purports to help. And, similar to many leftists, the mayor’s work ethic has so many gaping holes. The dispute between Joe Lhota and Bill de Blasio is not only about subway food and funding, but is reflective of a far more profound discussion regarding personal values and self-sacrifice. In Proverbs, King Solomon tells us that laziness and self-indulgence breed inefficiency and ultimately result in destruction. Joe Lhota understands this; even Andrew Cuomo seems to get it, as much as we reject his socially liberal views. De Blasio, though, hasn’t got a clue.

It's not a simple argument in either case. I'd like to have the right to eat on the subway without having the right to drop my garbage in the car or on the platform, but I can also understand the reasons behind a proposed ban.

Back then, the rats/trash problem wasn't as bad as it is now, IIRC. In fact, I liked it better when I could get a hot dog and Orange Bang while changing trains, and there were always bins nearby for me to dispose of my trash. Hmm, could it be that removing those trash bins is part of the problem?

The analogy isn't apt. If you allow people to eat on the subway, you get some inconvenience, a bit more litter, and a slight uptick in the number of track fires if the MTA can't be bothered to vacuum regularly. If you allow gun ownership, people get shot and die en masse. Obviously, there's a lot more reason to ban guns than to ban subway eating.

AlM mentioned guns, not arms. There is no right to own guns. Gun ownership is a privilege that you must affirmatively prove you need and can be revoked at any time. It's true that the US is extremely lax about actually restricting this privilege. It's also true that the US has a disproportionately high murder rate, attributable entirely to its refusal to restrict gun ownership.

More importantly, as Plessy makes clear, what is decided in one era, can be reversed in another. Arlen Specter liked the phrase "stare decisis" but was also co-author of a manual on how to continue abusive interrogation techniques despite Miranda. Rail content--Plessy was a decision specifically involving accomodations on passenger trains. For many years railfan publications employed the euphemism "divided coach" when describing the Jim Crow cars in train consists. For those of us of a certain age, De Blasio v Cuomo is very similar to Lindsay v Rockefeller--in each case supposedly of the same party but personally not inclined to cooperate. Bill may not be perfect, but Lindsay was the last Republican I voted for and I doubt that will change in whatever time I have left.
