    Other People's Rail: Amtrak, commuter rail, rapid transit news & views outside New England

    https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/57013c7d-22e2-45f6-a937-4f49104bd5f6 This was an interesting read for someone who knows very little about the state of passenger rail in Germany. I don't know that I would have predicted that the proportion of trains arriving on time has...

    I think I remember seeing somewhere that they were removed for preservation but a quick search online doesn't readily find anything 🤷‍♂️

    Idea for fixing the housing shortage

    A quick search didn't bring up anything but I was reading about this package of Montana housing reforms from a couple years ago that finally cleared state supreme court review in March https://montanafreepress.org/2026/03/18/montana-supreme-court-upholds-housing-reform-laws/...

    The New Residential Conversion Thread

    If I had to guess I'd say because downward price rigidity for commercial space is really strong and will hold the market out of equilibrium in the medium term. In most cases I would agree with your logic here but I just think housing seems to be so broken that I would support intervention lmao

    Industrial National Trust (Superman Building) | Downtown | Providence

    In my mind it would feel about as isolated as the school of public health does from either the medical school or the main campus. As a standalone school or something maybe it could make sense geographically. Weirder things have happened, Yale bought the old Bayer facility 5 miles away to use as...

    Food Hall | Union Station | Providence

    I was also surprised my first time visiting the time out food hall in fenway when they didn't take my cash as payment. I read somewhere that the new market entrants for point of sale and credit card processing like stripe and square have meaningfully improved functionality and payment...

    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    I'm no automation engineer but they started from needing one to one in person supervision but are now down to only needing one person to manage 40 cars at once over the course of the last few years. All of that while now achieving crash rates substantially below human level. I think the...

    Connected/Automated vehicles and infrastructure in Boston

    For what it's worth, it looks like they've got 70 employees that do the remote help on 2-3000 vehicles. The technology is obviously in it's infancy, as they gain more real world use information or improve the underlying algorithms, I bet the supervisor to taxi ratio should improve hugely...
