Rough Notes

Fare Jumpers, Fake Reform, and a Frozen Rink
Why Penn Station is still a dump, and how the guy who fixed an ice rink might save the whole rotten system
By Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF, CLU, ChFC, RFC – Honest sarcasm from a man who reads the contracts

It is sarcastic, brutal, and absolutely true. If you like your comedy with facts, buckle up.

Penn Station today looks like Chernobyl’s forgotten subway. Seriously—if cockroaches had a convention center, this would be it. And if you’re a woman walking alone through Penn at night? God help you. It is not just sketchy, it is maximum-security-prison-yard-after-lights-out sketchy. You could be wearing a nun’s habit and still get followed. Try being mildly attractive and you’re basically reenacting The Walking Dead with hormones.

And what do they do about it? Oh, they announce things. Big glossy renderings! Fancy brochures! A PowerPoint extravaganza with more colors than a kindergarten art project. “We’re revitalizing Penn Station,” they say. “It’ll be beautiful!” Meanwhile, the
