Some of the highest property and income taxes in exchange for
- shitty expensive roads
- just "meh" state university
- the worst subway I saw in any country (and there were a few)

It’s the only subway I’m aware of with two sets of tracks so it can run 24 hours even while maintenance is performed usually. It’s better than basically any other subway in America as a start and certainly better than many others as well.
That said, the United States is clearly terrible at public transport overall.
