I know the new admin isn't gonna do great things, but the money is already spent and a lot of people have already started (or in some cases, finished) these projects.

The work that has been done over the past four years has set into motion great changes for decades to come, and empowered local areas to now build on the vision and infrastructure set out by the outgoing administration. :)

Ohio has way too many people to be so hostile to rail and bicycle infrastructure

7th in population and 42nd in public transit spending per capita. Abysmal.

It really is weird. Columbus for example is fucking huge to not have a train or frequent bus service.

Too low density. Those buildings are mostly suburban one- or two-storey homes most likely, and much of what isn't is not more than 4 floors and a lobby.

Not saying it's a bad idea. I'm saying too much car-centric planning can permanently "lock-in" car-centric living by making it too expensive. Those assholes in the auto industry knew exactly what they were trapping society in.
