…. when I look around the Madison metropolitan area, I wonder, what problems would trains solve?
Relatively speaking, commutes to Madison are short and parking is not only plentiful but cheap. Plus, local officials seem more than willing to look kindly on the kind of dense, urban development trains inspire — even without any actual trains.
I’m left to deduce there is no mass tipping point in favor of mass train transportation, and, for now at least, the train argument seems confined to the politicos — and their competing versions of freedom.
