So many US cities have situations like this.

    I read through this conversation and nah, you’re pretty much only responding to the most minor part of each comment and ignoring the important parts

    The point is that the highway, and therefore the train, run through the city. No one’s arguing that this is an incredible setup but you’re acting like the stations are in the middle of nowhere.

      The important part is that nobody seems to care. I’m more pissed from the general apathy.

      Look, I’m a government employee, if nobody complains, it’s fantastic but THIS is something that should have been complained about in the planning stage. I’m frustrated that nobody wants to make their lives better and then they complain after the fact. Make a damn ruckus BEFORE. The government do not mind buying land for infrastructure projects.

      And that nobody seems to realise that cities comprise of the CBD, outer city, suburbia and peri-urban areas and a train should cover all those areas. It does seem odd that nobody seems to know how suburban rail generally works everywhere in the world.

        They responded directly to your point implying that this station couldn’t be serving a population center because it’s by a highway and then you didn’t address that and kept talking past them
