Huge shoutout to Cleveland for being an underappreciated city (upload.wikimedia.org)

We hear the jokes, yes, but

Cleveland:

-Has a metro
-Has a good BRT system
-Has a great history of manufacturing and industry
-Never fully got rid of their streetcars and converted the last two lines to light rail
-Has what looks to be pretty affordable housing
-Has this dope-ass arcade and many other cool architectural features

Cleveland was once a very large industrial powerhouse, and capitalist disinvestment in the city has devastated some parts of it to a huge degree. That cannot be overlooked. But the city has now become a smaller city with big-city features and history. Big shoutout to Cleveland! Go check out https://hexbear.net/c/[email protected] for more Cleveland content.

Is there a planned station here? The area looks ripe for redevelopment. Maybe it could even be public housing?

There was a station planned there at one point, but not for development. That's the port and it's very busy. This stop would've served port workers. Other areas of the line are extremely ripe for redevelopment; maybe more than anywhere else in the city.
