June 1Jun 1 The feds won't give us rail transit funding until we re-densify on our own. Our old zoning code was really holding us back because it prioritized SFH within the city limits to try and compete with the suburbs during the 1950s. That is being addressed with high-density ZoneIn corridors that began only in 2024 and are rolling out over the next few years. We are allowed to get federal bus funding until we reach the required density level for rail funding. The Statehouse is not going to help us with rail transit funding the way things are now, but they are loosening up on Amtrak funding in the state finally which is good. Edited June 1Jun 1 by GCrites
