First you need to change American attitudes about cars and independence. HOV lanes have become a gigantic failure as government thought they could change the minds of Americans and did not. I would like to see America use a few billion dollars and build MAGLEV trains right down the middle of the Interstate highways. AMTRAK disappears overnight. The biggest problem? Government cannot figure its way out of a wet paper bag. Light rail in bigger cities have pretty much failed as income producers and have become debt producers.
John, Light Rail is a gigantic income producer almost wherever it has been mandated. Please do a deep dive into the management class net worth before and after Light Rail was introduced and I think you will find their net worth increased significantly as did the net worth of all their crony friends who managed to get their fingers in the pie. Many Americans like to look down their nose at the govt officials in Mexico and Africa but if the truth were known the Mexicans are pikers when compared the the sheer number and amount of graft/corruption that goes on in America. Due to Doge spending just a few hours looking at USAID files we learned that American taxpayers were paying for most of the illegals to come to the US as well as the many rent-a-mobs that the Marxists used to show their friends in the media that conservative policies and people are horrible and have to be attacked daily in order to convince Joe lunchpail that the Marxists will keep the evil Rs from pushing grandma off the cliff and will keep the evil Rs from causing irrepeparable harm to our children (at least the ones that they cannot murder via PP).
Ron Neff, here's a light rail investment joke, since I can see California's Highway To Nowhere from near my house (and a best friend used to work on it):
The African and the Asian go to the UN/World Bank class on international development.
A few years later, the Asian calls his friend the African and invites him to visit. The Asian shows off his big, fine house and his brand new luxury cars.
"How did you do this?" the African asks.
Grinning, the Asian says, "see that multilane superhighway over there? 5%, right off the top!"
A few years after that, the African calls and invites the Asian to his house.
The Asian, gaping, can't believe the African's broad mansion and his fleet of limosines.
"How in the hundred hells did you do this?" the Asian demands.
"Look out de window...do you see that highway over there?" chortles the African.
"What highway?" says the mystified Asian.
"That's right!" laughs the African. "100%, right off the top!!"
