They also push people onto oncoming trains during the warmer months in NY; stay safe when you leave us again down here.
There's no subway down here - in fact mass transit is pretty much a joke in this and many other states. Virtually or literally non-existent. I mean we can't even get a functional tram in the Villages, where the older you are, the less likely you're capable of driving, the more you rely on "someone other than yourself" to get you around.

But we have plenty of deaths, and accidents, and injuries. The emergency services folks earn their pay, for sure. Is that because of New Yorkers?

Nope. It's because of old people. Should we ban old people, since they're costing everyone so much money and causing so many accidents and death and injury? I dunno - I don't mind them so much. Maybe New Yorkers aren't the problem though. Maybe it's old people.
