No matter what people say about infrastructure, aging or new, what they don't tell you is that there's not a whole lot for a city to do about a storm besides what it has always done, ride it out, then clean up afterward. Lives will be lost, nobody likes it, but it still happens anyway as it always has. Damage will be expensive to clean up after a large storm, that hasn't ever changed and it's not going to. Storms can hit just about anywhere along the coast to inland, that hasn't changed, and it's not going to. People still don't seem to get how arrogant it is that they will beat nature the next time by being as prepared or more prepared than nature. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to try and compete with nature, or test nature, because nature will run everybody over, and that's not a win win for anybody, because in reality, there is no such thing as a win win for everybody. If it sounds too good to be true, it is, because it isn't true.
Some of us are glad when nature shows humans they are not as in charge of everything as they think they are, and if there is one species that still doesn't get that after being shown over and over again, it is humans, not animals or any other species. Humans are the one species arrogant enough to think they will find a way to beat or outcompete nature, so it's beautiful when nature shows them otherwise. Infrastructure is resilent enough, regardless of age. New York is a resilient city filled with resilient people, it always has been, and if it tells the wildfire to go fuck itself, it will be the same city it always has been in no time without anybody missing the wildfire or losing sleep over it.

Him: Hey sweetie, its been a while since we've insert sex-related activity here.
Her: Yeah, because you're a cheap-ass and we haven't leverage one or many supporting institutions from the sexual infrastructure in a while.
Concrete Example:
Him: Hey sweetie, its been a while since we've had a threesome with your secretary. What gives?
Her: Yeah, because you're a cheap-ass and we haven't taken a crazy Vegas weekend in over 5 years!
