The thing about listening to "The Big Dig" podcast from WGBH is that, sure, we can look back on that project and say it was a boondoggle and disaster of epic proportions, but at the time people were saying the same thing.
Anyway, thinking a lot about the 101 widening (for the same price we could have gotten electrified SMART with 15 minute headways) and the upcoming highway 37 project (where, you know, we could also tear it out and just make Marin County, and, let's be fair, Petaluma, allow developers to build some workforce housing.
Meanwhile, as a bunch of people have pointed out, 2023 was the warmest year of your life and likely the coolest year of the rest of your life. And the IPCC 1990 predictions for "no action" are pretty much exactly on track.
Anyway, I'm in Episode 4, and it's a good listen.
