My commute sucked this morning, and so did just about everyone else’s. But I think we need to take some joy in this thought:
At one point this morning, the L train was not running. The G train was not running, either. On top of that, car services in North Brooklyn were reporting up to 90-minute wait times. So, during that period between about 7am and 10am this morning, hipsters from Williamsburg could not get to Manhattan.
And I believe our city is better because of it.

Ouch. I actually missed the L today. All I was thinking about as I was wandering around in other parts of Brooklyn this morning, vaguely lost, was that if I still lived in Williamsburg, at least I would know my options.

Manhattan wasn’t much better. It took me almost an hour to get from the East Village to midtown.

“At one point this morning, the L train was not running”
And this is different from a normal day?

People who pay $1,000 less a month in rent than some jackass in the east village had trouble getting into the city.
