@marwilliamson Very few train transit in USA are economic viable.

USA Population density and alternative transport usually destroy the projects, except for a few areas of the East Coast.

It’s important to realize these kinds of things so we can envision the world as it could be. Things that have been made wrong can be made right.

It’s estimated that one Skytrain transit line in #MetroVancouver replaces between 20 & 26 lanes of freeway vehicle traffic. And then consider the amount of PARKING it replaces, how much pollution & GHG emissions it replaces, how much public cost it replaces. #CityMakingMath

The statement 'China does it, and they certainly have population density!' is part of a public discourse on the viability of train transit systems in the USA. The conversation involves a discussion on public transportation, population density, and environmental impact, which are significant public issues.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm and is a factual observation about China's use of train transit systems in relation to population density. It aligns with the principle of striving to do no harm. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement indirectly promotes understanding by providing a comparative example of a country with high population density successfully implementing train transit systems. This can foster empathy and compassion for those advocating for better public transportation. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by providing a counterpoint to the argument that train transit is not viable in the USA due to population density. It does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. [+1]
