American cities languish badly compared with transit leaders such as Sydney, Hong Kong and Barcelona,
based on the number of transit vehicles per 100,000 residents,
according to the Transportation for America study.
The gap is now so large that for major American cities to bring their public transit up to “world-class” status,
it would cost an enormous
$4.6trillion, involving 7,500 miles of new dedicated infrastructure for trains and buses, over the next 20 years…

How car-loving American cities fell so far behind their global peers on public transit
With most major European cities well served by trains and buses, bringing US transit up to par would cost $4.6tn

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

My enduring memory of #JamesValentine will always be when he ate a cornflake and tomato sauce sandwich on air in the break between after-school programming, and struggled to not throw up. For all his professionalism—and he was the consummate professional—this was touchingly human and imperfect. His disgust was real.

First, they need to decouple the route from the existing network, or risk it daily becoming a *glacially slow* high-speed train. Then, set rolling stock design parameters that don’t, say, require paring back multiple existing station platforms. And then, somehow manage not to fuck up the rolling stock tender process.
