LI always fairs best with Democrats in Albany, and Hochul is a pretty standard issue (Cuomo was a little too conservative). It would be obvious if you all weren't so busy making up petty nicknames like a Trump and his MAGA minions
Lmao at Cuomo was “too conservative” wow. Who do you want as governor? AOC?
Are there elevators to back up the escalators? Can you imagine the yearly maintenance costs of these things? Ka Ching! And now you have to factor in another 10 minutes to the street/train?
Thinking of taking a ride in next week for the laughs
Second Avenue Subway is not even ten years old and on average one escalator is out of service for a week.
Don't know who MTA got them from but someone is stuffing themselves with all those repairs.
Lots of comments on Twitter from those who used the new station that the time from the tracks to the subway/outside is very long. MTA website says you need 10 minutes??? At Penn, if you know what car to stand in you can easily be on the subway platform in under 90 seconds after getting off the LIRR.
Thing is Penn Station was designed by PRR for their own uses and passengers.
GCT was built and owned by NYCRR who for most of its history was locked in nasty battles with PRR. One reason Penn-Central merger failed so spectacularly was people on either side didn't want to work with their bitter enemy.
New York Central RR never needed nor wanted east side access coming from under East River. Their yards are still where they always have been; under GCT and on blocks either side of Park avenue, or things were sent north to yards outside of NYC.
Since there is already so much under GCT (subways, Penn-Central later Metro North), only way ESA works is to go deep, very deep. Same as with SAS on UES whose stations are also deep.
Governor Kathy Hochul—who inherited East Sides Access from a litany of predecessors dating back to the 1990s—is putting on a good show, claiming it will bring “just a 22 minute ride from Jamaica to the East Side of Manhattan!” But that is barely faster than what LIRR riders already have. The E train goes from Jamaica to Lexington and 53rd Street in 25 minutes and has more frequent service.
as much as you lyao, Cuomo was a fairly conservative governor. Hocul has more progressive ideas and may actually get more done that will benefit LI and upstate areas.
AOC, nah, don't believe she'd be a good administrator, She is more effective in her current House role (would be more effective if the damn Republicans weren't holding court) and can definitely see her moving up to US Senator real soon.
Who would you want as gov? Zeldin? lol.
Zeldin would have been a great governor. Hell even some nameless upstate millionaire GOP Romney clone would be better than the left wing trash in Albany now. Love how you keep saying democrats benefit Long Island, hysterical. What planet are you on? To them we are an ATM for the city where the heart of their voter base is nothing more.
And the only thing AOC has ever been “effective” in is to bring attention to herself. Other than that she’s a joke.

There is nothing good for LI proposed for by Cruella. We dont want/need more dense housing.
AOC is an a..hole of Congress. She hasnt a had a good thought since she was a bartender and was deciding what drink to make.
Wasn't it the right wing 'trash' (your choice of words) that selected, elected, and now stuck with Santos? And you talk about what planet I'm from, and who else might be a joke.
The joke's on You, Zeldin and Trump (the biggest joke of 'em all)
Yep he turned out to be a slime ball but at least he will vote to stop the prog agenda dead in its tracks the next 2 years, more than I can say for the lunatics people like you vote for: AOC, Omar, Jayapal, Mad Maxine, schiff, the clown who thinks Guam will tip over if too many people are on it (and was just re-elected) I can go on and on and on…
