Here’s some depressing news, from Wendell Cox on Joel Kotkin’s newgeography.com website: the federal government is still bent on inducing states and localities to spend untold billions on fixed rail transit projects. The case in point is metro Orlando, where the Federal Transit Administration is trying to get the locals to commit matching dollars to a “Sunrail” commuter rail system running parallel to Interstate 4. You might wonder why a commuter rail system is needed there, since nearly every worker in metro Orlando has a car and can drive, and can travel almost any imaginable destination-to-destination route much more quickly by car than by rail.
