Plan to waste more money on services nobody wants or will use. Eliminate wasteful spending. Lower gas prices and corporate tax rates. Reduce social spending. Fund faith based programs instead of SNAP and section 8. Make America say grace again.
When people complained about public transit they mean local public transit not high speed rail. Planes could do what the highspeed rail does way fast, cheaper, and better. You can't compared a muti state highway system to a train that no one is going to use. Highways are faster, better, more flexible anyone could use it anytime. Meanwhile tracks are only being used a few seconds a day only when the train is passing by. Those rails cannot be used for freight because those trains are different and its almost one train on the track at a time. Meanwhiles millions of people could use a highway daily, nightly and at any hours but trains could only be used 30 seconds a day as the train is passing by it. Long distance fast train is the dumbest thing ever. It's cool and I love train but practically its stupid. The only thing that are good for train are for freight and anyone within 60 miles for commuter trains. Long distance trains are dumb.

I would love if they restore a AEM-7 to working order (I live in France now and miss the Amtrak interiors compared to the TGV ones)
As a New Jerseyan, I remember all the hype of Acela back in the 1990s.
dunno about induced demand or economies of scale, but if we paid people to not do things such as produce fossil fuel, then all would be well
They should make 76/676 and Roosevelt Boulevard into bike trails
Can't fix stupid!
Fucking New York
One parking ticket is $125 in NYC. We have numerous speed cameras and city-bus lane cameras already taxing us $50 a pop for violations. You really want more taxes and tolls to pay that bad? ,,|,,-

Thank you from a Californian. I've just busy working in an adjacent industry , and been frustrated at the shit thrown on the track but have no time of my own to throw it back... it's nice to see someone step up. From PA no less. Ride on!
Induced demand, If you build it thryll come
My only issue with the "let's not build roads" thing is the city does actually need to be reshaped to match. Australia is currently incredibly sparse and the PT works a bit, but for it to get much better the cities need to be re imagined with pt at the heart and made more dense. So yes, build more trains, but if they city is sparse, people will drive even if the roads suck because the trains will still be hard to get to.
Perhaps I'm a little uneducated in the project, but I'm from New York and everyone I asked about congestion pricing only had bad things to say about it, I've even received emails from various state politicians asking for my support to make sure it doesn't go into effect. Like it's not the car owning, insurance paying publics fault that the MTA is managed so piss poorly, why should we have to pay? Isn't it enough we have to pay for various tolls (some of which we promised temporary which then became permanent, like the Verrezzano) just to get into Manhattan? And then pay again just to park, whether that be on the street or in a parking garage? You mention Tony Baloney in his Mercedes complaining about it, but in case you haven't noticed not everyone stuck in the gridlock traffic of NYC is driving some fancy Mercedes, having a smoke in the back while their chauffer gets them where they need to go. The grand majority of them are just average every day people who make average every day salaries, and not everybody's so content to just take the train or the bus to work or wherever they need to go, especially not with all the increased violence going around our city. My parents have lived in NYC almost all their lives and even THEY refuse to take the train anywhere because of said violence. If NYC want us to support a bill that helps the MTA then they should stop managing it like garbage. Why should I, a taxpaying citizen who keeps up with his car, be content to pay what I consider a bogus charge to help fund garbage?
Look, I dont mind transit. But my mom is a disabled elderly teacher. Congestion pricing would fuck her royally. Walkability is nice but honestly it doesnt work for everyone. Not every disabled person is on a wheelchair or mobility scooter. I see the appeal to it, and I actually want it to happen, but I do think it was a bit rushed as to how much people are being charged. Its nice to think that people who drive in NYC are people in the hamptons in their mercedes, but truthfully a lot of people that have cars in said poorer neighborhoods are barely able to afford the car in the first place, and to glance over them is a genuine disservice. Us who grew up in the city, the city is a trap, with an unrelenting curse of bullshit and idiocracy. A car is the freedom to finally leave, or at least grant respite from the insanity of the city. So, genuine question, whats to be said of the owners of 1998 honda civics? What they get half off after getting charged 150 a month? what a great deal!

Satire: Now let's measure the amount of brain cells this governor has. Testing.. Testing.. 1.. 2.. 3.. WOW! Only 10 brain cells! No, but let's be serious. A governor who doesn't want to invest in a non-car city, or future for that matter, must be delusional. And to cancel the system to discourage driving in NYC because of some rich elitist bastards wants to drive their Lambo, Mercedes, or some silly-ass luxury car through Manhattan is complete BS. Haven't these people ever heard of taking the goddamn train, no? It's much better to do these kinds of things, with a sense of poise and rationally.
Before instituting Congestion Pricing the MTA must start building more ways to get across the Hudson River. Extending the 7 & Q trains to New Jersey is a thought, less traffic into NYC is aways better!!! MTA should have started this many years, are we to believe all the money congestion pricing gets from the MTA will be spent n the MTA??? I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, interesting???
He is an idiot, sure EV’s, and now a miles vehicles tax. He wants to built railroads, we’re is the money coming from?, and electricity is needed

Portland OR to Vancouver BC would be awesome. I live in Olympia and despite being 60 miles from Seattle I rarely visit due to traffic. There is a public transit bus from Olympia to Lakewood where you can connect to Sounder trains, or bus routes up to Tacoma to connect to Seattle. Generally Driving on I-5 can be about an hour in good traffic but suddenly it can become a multi hour ordeal. Seattle Parking is expensive so if I wanted to take a nice little day trip, I'd prefer taking public transit.

"Texas politics have been forever screwing over any chance of that" is a phrase that can basically be applied to any good thing that would be of benefit to the nation.
More like Tony Goldberg from LI lol.
1:34 Technically train wheels do deform when rolling, that's how trains have traction after all, but I get your point.
I love Amtrak but dislike Demarcats
I agree that those parking garages are ugly. However, those garages are better alternatives to super sized parking lots. They save up space. Blame the government for creating soviet-like zoning laws that reates car-centered cities. In a car centered country, i'm not giving up my car.
I'm from Canada and I recently went to NYC. We parked in Newark and took the PATH Train to Manhattan, and then NJT back. We NEVER drive in Manhattan because it's not worth it. You wont get anywhere fast, you'll be hit by Taxis, you're a danger to the millions of pedestrians, and you won't be able to find parking. We always take the subway or walk

Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong. .
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
I think l'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert mrs Janet.. High recommended🙌
Wow, I'm surprised to see Janet mentioned here as well. I didn't know she had been kind to so many people
I thought myself and my family were the only ones enjoying Janet trade benefits
In Düsseldorf, Germany, they moved some big roads into tunnel near the Rhine, allowing for extensive pedestrian areas and low capacity roads for the people who happen to live there. Yes, the tunnel is almost always backed up in rush hours, but so was the road above before it. So, I personally think that moving roads underground is a great way to give cities their walkability back.
in my opinion, its one of the best, center hwy, even access both sides to the station, in line with the hwy. Great transit corridor upgrade. I dont understand the hate.
California train will be stoped when trump com in
The big issue with the Trolleys is that they require a shit ton more maintenance to keep on the road, at least in my experience with the Wellington network. That might be because the Wellington design was flawed though 😅
Them - You don’t need a car. Me - You don’t get to tell me what I need. It’s about as simple as that. You ride your bike and stay out of other people’s business. It’s people like this guy that you could hand a bag of gold to, and they would still complain about something. Once we give up our cars, they will be on to harassing us about doing our laundry or something else. They are anti-social, hate-filled people at their core and will never be happy with how society is organized. They NEED to exert power over others to serve their ego. He also probably never saw the movie Singles, or he would know how cliche his ideas are.
