many people pointing out it would take billions of dollars to dig a fully new, five-mile Orange Line tunnel — but what about the costs of realigning the Green Line's E branch, connecting the Mattapan trolley to South Station and relocating Aquarium to a new Harbor Island?

The reason the conservative intelligentsia has spent decades pretending that societal shifts in cultural attitudes are the same as state coercion is to justify the use of state coercion against the elements of society they disapprove of.

Electrification is bearing fruit in California - the electrification of Caltrain service has resulted in 50% increase in weekday ridership and doubling weekend. The report shows the complementary benefits of level boarding which will make service faster and more reliable.

MARTA recently used a parking deck (on a car-sewer road) as its cover photo on Facebook. It's disappointing, but not surprising. Too many people in Atlanta's leadership have a windshield perspective on the city, viewing even transit through a skewed, car-oriented lens. Act like it's a city, y'all.

“I’d like to give the MTA credit for pushing forward on a cleaner, modern map,” Vanmaps designer (and transit map aficionado) Andrew Lynch told The Groove. “The MTA gets a lot of flack for everything they do, so it’s important to credit a win.”

On August 15, 1974, Seoul opened South Korea’s first subway line. But its opening was chaotic and funereal, and even briefly canceled. What happened? I explore how events from that day would not only reshape Seoul Metro, but Seoul and South Korea itself forever www.substack-bahn.net/p/one-bullet...

American planning in a nutshell. Shove all the housing next to the interstate and taper away from it with low density housing. Is Paris designed like that? New York? London? Tokyo? I thought zoning gave planners the ability to keep housing from noxious noise and pollution?

Not new! In The Political Beliefs of Americans (1967) Cantril & Free found that Americans were "ideological conservatives" opposed to abstract "big government", but "operational liberals" for lots of specific spending. It doesn't help that they have no clue re distribution of spending.

Confusing traditional cultural touchpoints for current median American culture is a great way to lose the zeitgeist. Every medium size town in this country is obsessed with bubble tea, or with thrifting as a fashion practice. These things aren't left-coded; they're burgeoning mass culture. Go there.

Joy was a singular presence in cable news because she gave young Black people practice. She let us put in our reps. Joy would go out of her way to find young Black talent and put them on her show; then, she put them in situations where they were treated like white talent. What that means is that she wouldn’t just find Black people to talk about “Black” issues; she’d find Black people and let them talk about any issue for which they had expertise.

One thing the US failed to address in any sort of meaningful way over the past 4 years: The housing crisis. Young and even middle-age people are increasingly cut out of homebuying. Situation likely to worsen in coming 4 years with tariffs, deportation of immigrants, & high interest rates.

Moments where the base and the party leaders are at odds are moments where new leaders come to prominence. Both Howard Dean and Barack Obama reached the heights they did because of their opposition to a war that many Democrats in power signed off on.
