I mean… that’s probably in the plan.
From a man who was notorious for not paying his contractors on NYC properties?
Saw the headline and immediately thought this is for the grift.
Yeah no one local will take the job now.
Oh no, many will take the job.
None will do any work, but they'll all take the job.
Why can't we live in the dumb timeline where Twitch chat plays US Government? They rename the station to "PENIS STATION <3". but then gift a bunch of money so the station actually gets overhauled and better than ever, so everyone accepts the name.
This timeline sucks.
That actually works since people will still call it pen station just not penn.
There's call it penis station but yeah.
Penns station Is now pronounced Pen-nes station lol
"The days of reckless spending are over" the Gold-clad man says as he shovels another pile of money into the furnace.
"And after we're done here, we're going golfing"
I am sure it will look like shit when the Orange Turd gets done with it.
He wants to memorialize himself in the city that absolutely hates his guts
Are we sure he's not going to do over a particular franchise of Penn station east Coast subs?
Akshully…..
There’s a concept of an idea of who would pay for it
That's just the funding part. There's so many more components to renovation like design and construction, and without utilizing Amtrak there's absolutely no legal avenue for them to take over the renovation of "private" property of Amtrak's. The article even mentions a draft executive order detailing a design.
What about Pencil Station?
Awful joke, terrible, horrendous.
Just saying what we're all thinking
Those damned libs and their intrusive Big Government.
