Well the thing is, I read that anything over an inch of surplus rainwater would inundate the subway pumps. That seems like it needs aggressive upgrading to me.
I mean fair enough, they can't protect against the Sandy-scale flooding but they need new pumps immediately.
And I don't think it's a case of technology moving in the wrong direction, but more a case of money going to the wrong places -cough- for-profit companies -cough cough-.
