NIMBYs though. I really feel for the people who are destined to have a 1 hour 1 way commute because of the bounds of affordability. I think about this often while riding my bike on the trail that took the place of a defunct railway.

@rubberducky@noauthority.social that makes me more sad out of capitalism. Seeing how rail is like 4x cheaper for freight than trucks are. Rail is efficient, powerful and cheap. yes some lines make sense to get rid of. But at least here it’s a lot of shit lobbying and mismanagement of the rail network. Even if people don’t want to get on it because “I don’t want to be next to someone poor” or whatever. It’s still good for cargo and military use. Not everything obviously but mass cargo.
