one way to improve New York
Posted by valcristo on May 5, 2009
Roosevelt’s New Deal was set on restoring the United States Economy. Today’s stimulus package presented by President Obama is planning something very similar. One major issue that both men present is the infrastructure of America, the roads, bridges, buildings, etc. New York City is beautiful at a distance, and by far my favorite city, my home. However, up close a person can see all the potholes in the roads, the chipping paint on a bridge, and several housing projects and buildings are in need of renovation. One way to improve New York is to restore its infrastructure so that it is a more livable place to be, more attractive place to bring tourists, and a beautiful city from a distance and up close. Franklin D. Roosevelt as well as President Obama has dedicated billions of dollars in order to repair the infrastructure of the Nation’s cities, this includes New York City. This is one way in order to improve New York. With the many commuters in cars, and businesses using trucks to deliver goods, the roads are beaten down daily, thus creating potholes. The quality of a bridge also depends on the paint used, and properly coated periodically. Housing will provide for more people to live in homes of sorts. In order to do this, the money used is converted to jobs for workers to restore these many points of the City, more jobs yields more money, more money yields more consumers, and the chain will continue. While stimulating the economy and improving the city, restoring New York City’s infrastructure can be very beneficial for those who live here. This is my home, and as my home I would like to see it at its best for the time I plan on residing here. Many tourists come to New York hoping to see its magnificence, whether it be Time Square or Central Park they come here to see this amazing city. Presenting the City the best we can is what we should do for those to enjoy themselves while they’re here, and envy us when they leave.
