If they are a cult, their temple is probably
their local “Regional Commission”. I
think of it as the “Church of Regional Consciousness”. They do have monthly
“communion” breakfasts for temple members and crony beneficiaries. Their conversations are full of mentioning
possible sites for rail projects peppered with new urban talking point words
like green space, streetscapes, walkability, transit, bike lanes and
millennials.
There appears to be enough federal bribes to
keep these folks in business. These
bribes are “grants to states” dolled out by regional commissions with green
strings attached and are part of Obama’s goal to spend government into oblivion.
The big lie they tell is that unless we have
public transit, big companies won’t relocate to your city. They require high density zoning that always
turns into high traffic congestion and makes their project sites less
attractive. They also insist that
companies must hire millennials, who insist on a high density urban
environment. This is also baloney unless
you are a millennial who is also a “green freek” or a total “left winger”.
Those of us who have public rail in our
county want it to be self-supporting, with no tax subsidies. If we also have
traffic congestion, we want road expansion or lower density to solve the
problem.
