How many times will techbros reinvent the train/tram until North America finally starts laying down rails?
On account of the election, you can basically be sure that passenger rail will not happen to any extent any time soon. Expect bigger cars and more highways instead, as this is what is outlined in Project 2025.
Incredibly bleak.
Going backwards while the rest of the world builds more functional and fair cities. We feel just as bad up here in Canada where our provincial premier is overstepping cities to force them to remove bike lanes that just got installed. The lanes are along a subway corridor and there are several apartment buildings planned on those roads that have extensive bicycle parking plans with much less car parking. And we've got big plans for new highways while we refuse to build rail along the densest part of our nation.
"Just one more highway bro, the 413 will fix it this time"
I can't even afford to use the last one they made.
Soon, many of us won't be able to afford to drive at all, it would be nice if we had other options
