The New York City Subway Is Hell
The New York City subway is bad. We all know this. But this is how bad it got today:
Southbound 4 and 5 trains are running local from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr to Franklin Av because of ice on the express tracks at Bergen St.

Northbound B and D trains are running with delays because of an investigation on the Manhattan Bridge.

Southbound D trains are running local from Bedford Pk Blvd to Tremont Av because of signal problems at Fordham Rd.

Service changes update: B – No service between Coney Island and Bedford Park Blvd in both directions.
D – No service between B'way-Lafayette and 36 St (Bklyn) in both directions.
Southbound D trains are stopping along the F line from W 4 St-Washington Sq to 2 Av.

Hi. We are aware of the situation and are investigating the cause of the smoke. Southbound D trains will run via the C line from 59 St to W4 St, then via the F to Coney Island. ^JP

This does not include myriad problems that occurred this morning with "sick passengers," "police investigations," "FDNY activity," and "customer injury," some of which may just be suicides.
And, naturally, people are already extremely mad:
Riders Alliance slams the MTA for this morning's train delays. "New Yorkers with vivid memories of the Summer of Hell are gearing up for a Winter of Heartache on the subway."

Please suggest places for me to move to in the comments that are not in New York City. Really, any place. I can work from home. I'm doing it right now.
Because the subway is broken.
