infrastructure that ought to exist

[Kalahari Inkantation]

• the long island sound link to connecticut

it's simply absurd that i need to either take a ferry, or travel over 100 miles to get from port jefferson to bridgeport, which isn't even 20 miles due north

and naturally, greater interconnectivity between these regions would be an economic boon to both, such a crossing would easily pay for itself in a few years

they dont want the conniticunormies coming in and stinking up the place

actual functional, reliable, FAST, and affordable rail infrastructure

like it costs me 4x as much to take the train to philly instead of just drivin' my ass there what the fuck yall

I wouldn't mind. I think Nu-York could seriously benefit from an infusion of Connecticulture.

whoever designed Baltimore's infastructure needs to be shot if they're still living; if they're not we need to publicly humiliate their remains.

i fucking HATE having to drive in this fucking city. besides the SHIT TON of potholes, the roads make no fucking sense and change from 1 way to not 1 way whenever they fucking please, you have to make several subsequent right to left to right to left turns to get ANYWHERE, meaning you must be in the EXACT RIGHT LANES or you will be fucked and have like 1 block to cut across three lanes of traffic. but the WORST fucking part is their god damn intracity highways. why the FUCK does 395 not connect to 83??????????????????????????????????????

coming in from DC/the south you are going to be dumped right in teh fucking middle of baltimore's downtown. 83 is basically the main artery to get anywhere that isn't the inner harbor, so you then have to fight your fucking way through shit tons of traffic, pedestrians, and homeless people to go to some dipshit hipster resturant on the northwest side of town. it SUCKS. just blow it all up and start over for fucks sakes. use a REAL FUCKING GRID GOD DAMMIT


im sure the real answer is that the rich dicks of the inner harbor area didnt want a highway mucking up their fun, but fuck that, demolish the aquariam, free willy and fix your god damn roads you shits

a high speed rail network throughout new york would likely also help to alleviate some of the disconnect between upstaters and city dwellers and reduce upstate isolation

god why hasn't this happened yet

GET ON IT QUID-PRO-CUOMO

They're not going to create a bridge that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to connect two commuter suburbs with no amenities

Would be nice for ya though

Also fuck Long Island

[Kalahari Inkantation]

a bridge like that would be more like billions

i only chose the two towns i chose to emphasize the minuscule distance between ct and li, but a direct link between brookhaven and new haven for example would be hugely beneficial for all of li and all of ct (combined population minus nyc: ~6.5 million) and stimulate the economies of and encourage new development in both

it's also hugely limiting, a massive waste of fuel and time, and potentially even a safety/security hazard that the one and only way out of long island by land is through the city, and a bridge directly into ct would easily resolve that problem

it would cut down on a decent portion of general city traffic too, which could always use some relief

imo it would be well worth the $multi-billion investment, inevitably it would pay for itself

Also fuck Long Island

You've never even been.

pay me a visit i'll show you a good time

9;m sure the geography of Long Island is fine

It's the bros and JAPs that make me want it to sink into the ocean
