The one potential tram train I can think of on the northern part of the Camden Line would be from Columbia Town Center, down Broken Land Pkwy, then on the old rail ROW, then up the Camden Line to Camden Yards. The old plans for that involved light rail to Jessup but tram train can get you to bmore

I see. I'm guessing this requires either some sorta freight bypass or getting freight traffic to have timetables and stuff to better use capacity in those tunnels

basically connect the Dahlgren branch to Pope's Creek, and then run along NEC for a Tish, then use power line ROW's to connect to Captiol subdivision, avoiding bottlenecks in Camden Line closer to DC?

It's essentially one giant bonding experience. Like, if you get people from all sorts of cities across different countries root for either of the two teams at the world series on an annual basis, might encourage people across borders to talk with each other more

Less land to protect (if we have higher density) means we can splurge more on various climate adaptation measures. Denser housing also makes forms of construction such as mass timber or concrete panel construction easier to pencil out, which is more resilient than light wood frame

It's less money than we think it is, but still a good thing. Wealth is power, and this much concentrated wealth makes separation of powers a joke. If we guarantee some financial stability for our institutions, all the better
