Dylan I have seen it, and ja I know: NYC will become a nightmare until those subways can be made safe.  It isn’t clear to me that they can ever be made safe.

 

I can imagine office space being converted to residential units.  Dylan one way or another… this system has grown inherently brittle.  Something was eventually going to shatter it.
