        The government really needs to grow some balls and get better with this stuff.

        Just draw some lines on a map. Offer everyone 1.3x the value of their house (or however much) and take it off them. For the greater good.

          Often you don’t even need more property. Just utilize existing rail systems. So much unused or barely used rail in this country.
