@ryan_hassett "People are moving for the weather" No one moves to Georgia for the weather. People are moving because of housing costs. It's just much easier to say "the weather" instead of "I've been priced out of my neighborhood"

@dmtrubman Stop consolidation is exceedingly difficult if you have to go to the community. Every single stop is critical to 1 or 2 people, and they'll argue that walking 200 ft is a human rights violation. Rinse and repeat and you get Philly (also the Boston Green Line)
