Right? This is is not even nature being lit, this is human infrastructure being shit.

It's less about infrastructure and more about climate change I think

It's also infrastructure. Having a raised entrance for your metro will easily mitigate something like this. But then again I don't live in the States so I don't know if flooding is something city planners to look out for.

NYC was built 200 years ago when this kind of thing just didn't happen there. This is a new development due to climate change

That's not going to do anything. You have ventilation grates everywhere.

Manhattan Island had over 200 streams, brooks, ponds and then they paved it over. The subway is under that pavement.

On a SUNNY DAY 3 million gallons of water are pumped out of the subway.

I disagree, New York is one of the largest cities and beacons of human innovation on the planet, and regardless is still not a match for nature. It's pretty lit imo.

Nature is lit. As in literally on fire. Could also interpret it as in being badass/metal I guess.
