This is literally anti-train propaganda, rail makes up like 2% of transportation sector emissions, being eclipsed by the personal automobile and trucking. What're we doing here?????
How the US freight rail industry got dirtier than coal power plants
U.S. freight railroads are a major source of pollution, chuffing out more nitrogen oxide than all the nation’s coal-fired power plants combined, according to a Reuters calculation.

It’s so telling how a magazine dedicated almost exclusively to ginning up examples of leftist overreach has to make up or misrepresent them to get articles out of them. If the left was so bad you wouldn’t have to lie about us all the time!

I think that a glaring omission in Chuck's idea, and the idea of federal projects, is the re-distributive nature of federal programs. There are areas and states that can raise money more effectively than others, and we really shouldn't completely hone in on local everything b/c of that disparity.
If Federal funding went away ... as it's sort of doing ... would we be better off? Obviously urban states and regions would have to raise taxes to develop the capabilities to build transit as well as they build roads. Might the local control be better? 6/

Fear of change is a very real thing, and getting people on board with stuff should acknowledge their humanity. Also social housing and the state have to be funded and make up for the inevitable decrease in private development while rent controls are in place
Um, ok...
This paper forthcoming at the JOP provides evidence that rent control in Germany actually made tenants MASSIVELY *less* NIMBY.
This result was in the opposite direction of the authors' pre-registered expectations.
And the effect sizes are, truly, massive.

Canada will break ground on its 200 mph high-speed rail line in 2029, with the first segment to be constructed to be the 200 km stretch between Montreal and Ottawa. Ultimately, the line will link Toronto and Quebec City, and reduce trips from Montreal to Toronto to 3 hours.
