It’s small town Midwest US life. My hometown, around 5000 people, has tracks directly through the center that have been there for over 100 years. They don’t have the money to even build pedestrian bridges over the tracks.@pomegranate_stew @antipode77 @ProPublica Your town got hosed. It had a direct rail line and still only has 5000 people in it? Sounds like it got gutted by the interstates. Remember that; cars ruin cities. Asphalt is expensive to maintain, has terrible drainage issues and is destroyed by heavy trucks that could have been delivered literally straight to your town via rail.

It was incorporated in the 1870s. It’s a small town in the Midwest, just like thousands of other small towns which also have railroad tracks through them. Believe me, no one there would consider themselves “hosed”. They enjoy living in a small town. I don’t, which is why I don’t live there. -
@Linza @pomegranate_stew @antipode77 @ProPublica You're right; put those on the roads instead.
@soviut @pomegranate_stew @antipode77 @ProPublica You know that's not what we meant. Your response is particularly useless and you're going in the block pile.
