OPINION

Why are the Roads So Bad in New York?

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

I see that New York Mayor Bill de Blasio just gave his State of the City address, calling for a massive construction of apartment buildings in the City to make housing more affordable.

But like his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, de Blasio has decided to do nothing about the worst problem facing every New Yorker – its crumbling infrastructure. The roads and bridges are falling apart.

Having traveled the world, I can tell you that New York’s roads, airports and infrastructure are third world. No, actually, third-world infrastructure is now largely better than the major cities of the United States.

Even in the United States, roads are better in Florida and out west in Utah than they are in New York.

Car drivers in New York and other big cities pay as much as $750 per year in vehicle maintenance costs related to rough road conditions — flat tires, worn shock absorbers and accidents.

When will our public officials wake up to the infrastructure disaster this country faces? Can they learn anything from Europe and Asia, where their public works are working?

In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter column from last week about why I hate taxes and tax collectors. I also invite you to comment in the space provided below.

Personal note: Last week, I received the following letter: “Last year was my first year attending FreedomFest and I have to say it was a life changing experience!… it pushed me to take that next step and to start trying to make a difference, instead of dreaming and hoping for something to come my way. I decided to start my own podcast! My show continues to grow and I have listeners all around the world! This is a dream come true and I thank you guys for putting this event on every year. I have already signed up for this coming year and can’t wait to experience that magic again.” — Justin Mohr, Justin Mohr Show.

Thank you, Justin. This is just one of many letters I’ve received over the years about the power and influence of FreedomFest. It can make a difference. We already have 1,000 people coming. See what the excitement is all about by going to www.freedomfest.com or calling 1-855-850-FREE (3733). See why Steve Forbes and John Mackey (CEO, Whole Foods Market) attend all three days. Plus, FreedomFest features a three-day investment conference!
