- the long island sound link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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

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

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
a bridge like that would be more like billions sillydood;
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
