"Nothing changes, where do our taxes go, this was once such a great metro, every year battling potholes" is the constant refrain

See, okay, people are kind of upset about the slow decline of our once great city, especially during the monsoons. There is much unhappiness about, yeah, mostly flooding.
"Nothing changes, where do our taxes go, this was once such a great metro, every year battling potholes" is the constant refrain.
Okay, so to be fair, there was some flooding over the last week. Sure there was a few extra millimetres of rain… and when there is a few extra millimetres of rain, the drains get choked. So, obviously there were some areas where cars were seen floating… Chalo, I accept that some areas were submerged under water, and that the resilient citizens of our city had to wade through waist high dirty water... Okay, some people even fell into potholes… Okay, so parts of Bhandup seemed like 20,000 leagues under the sea.
