*Sees picture of one of two actually dense cities in North America* “raaaa why can’t this be more like Chicago!!!! Where’s the single family wastes of space and no walkability!!!!”


At least people like you stay in the Midwest where you belong. Without New York this country would never have become anything

I never said San Francisco or New York should be like Chicago, I said San Francisco was evil but that was supposed to be a joke about Nimbyism and a lack of Lesbians. Also once again, I have to ask, have you ever been to Chicago because it is walkable

The Transportation Workers Union won a pretty big contract for on-board Amtrak workers recently. Featuring a seven year wage increase (backdated to 2022!) and ten weeks of paid parental leave!

sherdnerd asked:

Was just doing some back of the envelope math to explain the efficiency of trains to someone. Penn Station in New York saw about 600,000 daily passengers on weekdays in 2019. If every one of those people were to hypothetically drive a modern mini cooper instead (which, at 1.5m by 3.8m takes up an area of 6.4 square meters), it would require 3,876 square kilometres of parking. The combined area of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island is 3,738 square Kilometres.

ALL OF LONG ISLAND???
