The problem for future generations was that the plantation owner wasn't shot on the spot.

It's the place they can flee to when there's a pogrom.

Building more housing *somewhere else* is a majority opinion. Unless you identify a *somewhere else* the housing doesn't get built, period.

Like "affordability", promoting the value of dense housing is a non-core requirement that ultimately kills the production of new housing.

See the difference in the two photos taken about 15 minutes apart.

It's called a political compromise. It's how a democracy is supposed to function. Nobody gets everything they want.

Should someone do something about this? It seems to be getting worse. 😬

Somehow I don't think these folks are going to NJT's Meet The Fleet event at Hoboken today. 🙄

Welfare handouts are politically toxic along with decriminalization of public drug use. Hope this helps.

Otherwise homeless drug addicts working for room and board seems better than putting them in jail, especially in cities with a housing crisis.

As part of a new historic park, the local NRHS Chapter is using original 1831 Camden and Amboy stone sleepers to build a period approximate track display adjacent to the Bordentown NJT RiverLINE station.

Until recently the site of the old wye track was an overgrown thicket.

Do you want a middle class backlash?

If more housing gets built, take the win. Don't try to use housing as a vehicle for social justice.

A Euro Horn is the brown M&M that shows there was no localization. Surprise, the seats suck, the luggage space sucks, the doors are breaking already...

Enjoy the next 20 years of crap Acela trainsets and don't say you weren't warned.

It was literally Bombardier lobbying. There were no major accidents in the 90's to prompt the changes.

Replacing experienced builders with regulated standards is the problem. Budd could build lightweight trains when it made sense, and then could pivot away when grade crossing accidents make Zephyr type sets impractical. Bombardier lobbied for the 1990's regulations in a move to corner the market.

Something about this photo seems apt in describing the world today on so many fronts.

In North America the horn is far more important due to unsealed rights of way. You want something that has authority, not an apology. Someone is going to get hit, sue and win because the NG sounded like a truck or something.

I don't get why you are trying to make excuses for this equipment?
