Future generations may increasingly prefer to use not only on-demand ride-sharing services, but possibly even collectively-owned vehicles which drive themselves.

As a result, I think the City could start to prepare for, and facilitate, this trend by working with the State to offer very generous incentives to employers and/or employees to tele-work as much as possible, which could cost a fraction of what will be spent to complete the rail project--which I hope will be put out of its misery at least at Middle Street, if not before.

But I fear this won't happen unless and until we reduce the power of what I call the "Unholy Trinity, plus One"--land owners, real estate developers, construction worker labor unions, plus county property tax collectors--who all benefit from their mindless pursuit of self-interested "business as usual".
