That sounds like such a communist solution; employ the people, let the
infrastructure rot.

Nope they are not, I'm guessing you havent traveled much in the US by car.

What kind of cleanup do you think is necessary?  Or maybe its just
that NYC is congested?
Actually to back pedal a little I'd say NJ has some of the worst signs
and driving restrictions
in the US.  It's impossible to make a u-turn because of all, you can
barely see the street signs
at night.

I'd say NYC has some of the best street signs in the nation, they are
large enough to be seen at night
and have reflectors.
