There was a story years and years ago about how about half of the city’s fire hydrants do not work.

One example: https://www.nj.com/newark/2008/07/families_of_drowning_victims_t.html

I would say it has been like this for a very long time. Every time the community complains about these sorts of things, the city’s response is always, “we have to conduct a traffic study.”

There’s been cases where several people have died in the same area before the issue was fixed.

100% correct. They literally create the traffic congestion.

Are they going to destroy entire neighborhoods and displace hundreds of families like last time?

Mmm Belo’s across the street
