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:
Service changes update: Some northbound Q trains are stopping along the R line from DeKalb Av to Canal St.
Expect delays in both directions on the D, F, Q and R trains.— NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) January 9, 2018
Service changes update: For service between Brighton Beach and Coney Island customers can use Q train service. For service between 36 St (Bklyn) and DeKalb Av, customers can use the N train. To continue to Manhattan, transfer to a Manhattan-bound N, Q or R train at Atlantic Av.

Northbound E and 71 Av-bound M trains are running with delays because of signal problems at Lexington Av-53 St.

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:
@MTA @mtanow7 @JoeLhota @7trainblues What a surprise. Trash all over the platform. Befitting for a train line and subway system that runs like garbage. #TRASH #MTA #filth #racket #whenisthenextfarehike? pic.twitter.com/IKIj3N9bc8

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.
