Summary
Following the driest October recorded in over 150 yeaR, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a drought watch and urged residents to take shorter showers, fix dripping faucets, and implement water-conservation plans.
The city is also repairing a leaky aqueduct, leading to increased reliance on reservoirs in the northern suburbs, which also experienced a drier-than-average October.
There is also a shit load more people in NYC. Sure someone will help with your stroller, but that’s after 100 people have passed you in the last 20 seconds. Source: I’ve never been to NYC
whoa that’s a pretty good source
I’ve been the dude to help at least twice in my previous life there. Yeah, we complain a lot. Oh well.
I’ve been here for 14 years and own a stroller. Someone will always help, even in less dense areas. It’s common courtesy. I’d guess more people would actually induce a bystander effect. Same thing with asking for directions.
