Well, it looks like the Bloomberg administration figured it out this time. A relatively low snowfall combined with the Mayor's 15 point action plan means that many New Yorkers woke up to clear streets and pretty good MTA service. But at what cost? City Council member David Greenfield wrote on Twitter, "Sign the city got this storm right: #1 complaint I got overnite: 'Snow plows came down my block so often I couldn't sleep.'" Oh, cruel city that has such service in it!
We received various alerts of workers being almost too on the ball; Alexandra de Shazo of the Upper West Side told us, "I heard plows on my street about 5 times last night and twice this morning," and Stefan Dembowski said, "Floral Park, Bellerose and Hollis Hills has side streets plowed by 6:45am. Guess Bloomie figured it out..." Simkim even complained, "Snow plows were interrupting my SVU marathon viewing earlier." Have we become a city so used to overwhelming failure that we can't help mistaking a job well done for overcompensation? Or are we just resourceful enough to complain about everything?
We think it's the latter based on this Twitter status from Justin Harrell: "If they didn't plow my street, I could have called out of work today. #YouFuckedMeAgainBloomberg." Let's just go back to not having our streets plowed for a week and everyone can be happy, right?
