These images should and would be haunting us. Linear infrastructure planning is essential for every section especially when our ever expanding railway and road systems crosses through forest areas. We can always work towards a better future. #linearinfrastructure

what they use to do that?

#eminentdomain and railroads: as this article explains, plans for high-speed rails in Texas have historically turned into pipe dreams, but the recent momentum might be different due to the billions of dollars available from the federal infrastructure bill and Amtrak getting involved.

CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL: ANOTHER $100 BILLION BLACK HOLE Pitched at $33 billion in 2008, California’s high-speed rail now needs $100 billion more—with no timeline for completion. The original estimate?  Based on zero design or environmental work, the CEO admitted.  Costs balloon while $1.8 million is burned daily, and experts predict the project won’t be finished this century. Why keep pouring cash into a dream that’s already derailed? Time to pull the plug.
