It's had lower growth than FL as a whole since the 70s; combo of its growth boundary/geography and long-running net negative domestic migration as costs have risen/demos changed, both of which are pretty unique to Miami compared to the rest of the Sun Belt

Its ridership is mostly tourists but its utility is real - it connects an otherwise isolated neighborhood to 2-minute bus frequency to downtown

Really something that sorting by this metric gives you a group of New York, California, the Deep South, and the Rust Belt. And NYC is still getting a boost from NJ/CT residents moving across state lines

always a good reminder that the overall decline in manufacturing jobs predates interstates, foreign competition, shrinking union membership rates, etc
Text excerpt noting that from 1947 to 1954, most large cities including NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh saw an absolute decline in manufacturing jobs

Interesting how much the geographic deconcentration of manufacturing may has been due to overall industry consolidation over time...
Data table showing that manufacturing firms' locations in the NYC metro in 1956 varied significantly by size; only 8% of firms with 240+ employees were based in the City while 61% of firms with <60 employees wereTable showing the changing proportion of NYC metro manufacturing firms' locations share within the City over time. While both small and large companies steadily moved out of the City, larger firms did so more rapidly

Appreciate the response... The neighborhood here is already well along that transition; there's a former roundhouse less than a mile away that's now a coworking space The tension between (re)growing residential density and potential industrial sprawl is just really interesting and tough

@sandypsj.bsky.social curious if you have thoughts, are RRs nationwide leaning on these arguments frequently now or is this just in response in this case to the roots of the proposed legislation here?

Alternatively, assuming you're riding the T up through the South Hills, you can get off at the Allentown/Warrington stop and walk to Grandview Park (up to you if you'd rather have a grand or a fine view)

Taking the steps up to the Fineview Overlook will give you the best view of downtown (and an extremely satisfying hike)
