free city buses will only happen if the rich decide to actually stay in nyc, whilst yes fare free buses are good, they're only good when you actually have the proper money to fund it

when it comes to taxing the rich the more you tax them the more, they're more likely to just move out of the city to somewhere where taxes are lower, yes everyone will experience tax hikes at some point but u cant go over the top

whilst i find myself agreeing a lot with what zohran mamdani has to say i will say that i dont agree with two of his policies, increasing the taxes on the rich and free city buses

but what if they're not hot?

YouTube video by 9 News Australia Major drop in serious crime offences following 'adult crime, adult time' laws | 9 News Australia

youth crime was already going down prior to these laws, crime was not spiraling out of control, it appeared to be like that if you watched any media reports during that time

i know i keep saying that he's isolating himself but he just is

trump is isolating himself even more, he's gonna end up using so much of the u.s's own supply that when it starts to get low they'll come running back to us for our steel

if there's more parts to this or i find the plan i'll create a new thread

i doubt the strathpine express link, flagstaff and ripley lines will ever be built

not a lot of the plan will actually come to light sadly

so far:
springfield and redcliffe lines have been built
most of the gold coast light rail has been built
cross river rail is under construction
a plan to build the sunshine coast direct rail link

A HIGH FREQUENCY SUBWAY SERVICE FROM TOWONG TO BOWEN HILLS? NAH NO WAY, WHY WASNT THIS THE BRISBANE METRO, INSTEAD WE GOT A FUCKING BUS

the southern portal being at yerongpilly, sounds interesting

still possibly happening, depends if the lnp decide to cut the whole entire line

only one line got built sadly

im sorry what, a line from strathpine to i think bowen hills? its hard to tell because of the quality

no explanation needed for the gold coast light rail connection at helensvale, it happened and it exists

it takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes via train to go from central to the gold coast and about 1 hour and 50 minutes to go from central to nambour

luggage space on the ngr's are meh, same with most nambour line trains except for the IMU/SMU 120/220'S , in which case it has good luggage storage

unless of course you only really wanna count the sunshine coast coastlink already existing because of the sunshine coast direct rail

coastlink pretty much existed before it was even a thing since the gold coast line had been open for a while now, in terms of the sunny coast, that also existed before hand with the nambour line trains

so its easy to go from moreton bay - brisbane cbd, ipswich, and springfield and logan - brisbane cbd and ferny grove
