Because teachers are forced to be trained in Marxist ideology (eg Paulo Friere "Critical Pedagy" is mandatory reading in all teacher colleges) and then they can't teach kids for beans, and the kids become idiot adults who vote for the first lefty that pushes all the buttons they've been trained to be activated by

3. start fixing up all sidewalks. they are 3rd world to the highest degree.
4. start fixing streets with the best material (I believe London does this), which makes them extremely durable.
5. I would ensure subway platform entrances cannot be cut through unless you pay. right now people simply jump over them. ridiculous.
6. I would hire homeless people to clean up all train stations every month.
7. I would triple the tourist tax and lower the income tax.
8. I would add more cops throughout the city.

vote for me!

Well, you give no examples of specific people, but there are tons of city officials, and I don't think most are incompetent.

But you don't seem to grasp that most of your ideas cost money, and although I'm not aware of a tourist tax, you don't want to discourage tourists, who bring in a lot of money.
