New Yorkers outraged as bureaucrats order city to change lettering on every single street sign

WASTEFUL: Maybe they should spend the money teaching how to read these street signs. I wonder how many elite list politicians have their pockets in on this contract? :o

Does anybody have much dificulty reading these street signs in your neck of the woods?

    yikes ... in a city that has garbage everywhere and huge potholes on its highways ... you would think they could spend the money better ...
  • wow...

    $27 million is a drop in the bucket for the NYC budget, but still, think of how many potholes could be fixed, teachers hired, police hired, streets cleaned, etc that could have been helped by that money.

    One day messing around on my phone I was able to use goggle or something to look down directly on my house from space. The lawn was freshly mowed too but ask me to repeat that feat...not going to happen. I find it virtually impossible to get lost these days. They were saying it costs $110 per sign and Miami changed their signs down here in South Florida.
