What changed your tune this time around? You are now downplaying this and using whataboutism? I mean a break in the middle of winter that endangered people directly is exactly the type of worse case event you were "fearmongering" about a year ago that you now want to dismiss it as "no more concerning"?
Farkas is doing exactly what should be expected from a mayor in an emergency situation and moreso, and you are dismissing it as performative bull#### just because of your own personal bias against him. This is even more apparent considering you have criticized Gondek in how bad she is at communicating in the past.
The worries that people had have actually occurred, our mayor is looking to answers on how despite hindsight we still had such an incident again, and you want to downplay the impact and severity suddenly because you don't like Farkas.

You really found one single post that admits its bias to be that obnoxious? I wonder what it would be like it if that happened all the time in some other political thread
The feedermain is a very serious problem and also not the end of the world. All of those questions I asked are still valid today. Running a city is complex and messy and #### happens.
I just chuckle at the pearl clutching about the danger to the public here compared to what happens on our roads the other 364 days a year, which is something the city could absolutely control better. Whereas the die was cast on this pipe a long time ago and it would have required incredible omniscience to know that this pipe needed to be prioritized over a bajillion other city priorities.
The city relies on plenty of even older infrastructure and it's neither cheap nor fast to replace it all. If they replaced this pipe then a bunch of other stuff would have been neglected and potentially blown up in our face. Maybe worse, maybe not. If one of the worst case scenarios that I wondered about happened then maybe I'd be frothing at the mouth against the bureaucrats. But I doubt it. I think I'd still find the obnoxious grandstanding regressive who spent four years hindering this city to be the problem. But hey, at least his heart is in the wrong place.
Seriously, what value is there in seeing a report yesterday instead of next week or next month? Active emergencies are not the time for the blame game.
