Ain't then, don't ever let me catch you writing more than three sentences in a post. Ever. I'll be watching...I can't be bothered convincing randoms on the internet with nothing to gain for my efforts
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need bullet trains in this country.
It would shorten commutes and people wouldn't mind living far from downtown areas. Plus it would drive down the cost of real estate due to less demand to live close to work

There was gonna be one from DC to Baltimore but it got axed because A.) There were no planned stops in the suburbs between the two cities besides the airport (stupid) and B. It was gonna be $60 a tripI've said it before and I'll say it again. We need bullet trains in this country.

Just saying.
this is the exact same dynamic in canada,
national parties are mostly coming around to the pro housing view
but local politicians, especially big city leftists and exurban conservatives are all NIMBY's
gotta vote locally, imo every young person should be a single issue housing voter.
let your local politicians know.
well yah not the republican partyIt is not the exact same dynamic in the US and Canada though.
The US Republican party doesn't have a strong or growing pro housing wing. You might see it here and there but the erosion of its wonk class, the dynamics of its base, and there general lunacy prevent one from rising.
So in the states, in cities, young people really have to pay more attention to primaries to get YIMBY liberals and progressives through.
Because in US cities, there is so much veto power that one NIMBY progressives are undermine YIMBY ones. People underestimate how easy it is to veto stuff on the local level. Like in San Fran one delusional leftist was doing all kinds of damage. Even as other liberals yelled at him.
There’s lobby groups for EVERYTHING now, no matter how big or small the issue is. Things take forever to get passed/approved due to people taking everything to court.Too many groups lobbying against non car transportation to get anything done in this country
To be fair, bullet trains don't make much sense for short commutes. Even DC to Baltimore (an hour car ride) doesn't really make sense. Bullet trains should be replacing regional airlines and/or national air routes.There was gonna be one from DC to Baltimore but it got axed because A.) There were no planned stops in the suburbs between the two cities besides the airport (stupid) and B. It was gonna be $60 a trip
America can’t get anything done that’s actually well planned and accessible.
