NYC Floods from heavy rain. Infrastructure isn't remotely rainproof

Once again, New York City was hit by heavy rain — and the city’s infrastructure completely failed. Subway stations were flooded, water surged into train cars, and passengers were left stranded with nowhere to go. Major highways became rivers, parks turned into lakes, and emergency services were stretched thin trying to respond.

This time, the chaos turned deadly. A man in Crown Heights, Brooklyn tragically drowned inside a flooded basement while trying to save his dog — a heartbreaking reminder of how dangerous the city’s negligence has become.

None of this is new. These exact failures have happened time and time again. The State of New York has been warned, has studied the problem, and has had every opportunity to prepare — yet nothing gets done.

Instead of investing in basic infrastructure that millions of New Yorkers rely on, Gov Kathy Hochul throws billions at fringe pet projects — transgender initiatives, Planned Parenthood expansions, and anything else that grabs woke headlines. Meanwhile, the core systems of the city are rotting beneath us.

People aren’t asking for miracles. They’re asking for trains that don’t flood, highways that don’t drown, and leadership that actually gives a damn. Instead, we get excuses, mismanagement, and billions flushed down the drain.

This is what failure looks like — and it starts at the top.

Gov. Hochul, get your act together. Every storm floods our subways, highways, and parks — and now people are dying. Stop throwing billions at woke nonsense and fix New York’s crumbling infrastructure. Lead or leave. Enough is enough.
