A lot of times, the police are stationed along the road simply as a visual deterrent, and do not pursue by design.

My heart skipped a beat until I realized this wasn’t a project announcement

Is that the one following the SUV in front? I was on I-91N near exit 24. I saw 2 vehicles speeding and weaving around. It looked like a road rage incident. Luckily I was on far right side. That was very scary seeing that.

Better than spending it on "Defense".

That’s the wonderful part about technology, I don’t have to sit there and stare at it.

People in CT literally drive like it's GTA out here. I was stopped at a red light the other day, and while other traffic was still flowing someone came up behind me about 50mph without slowing down and whipped around my car and through the traffic almost causing a T-bone. Cop in oncoming traffic did fuck all about it. This exact instance has happened about 5 times since I moved here 2 years ago. Let alone all the other bullshit.

DMV, not DOT.

Edit: Downvotes for accurate info? Never change, CT reddit.

Works great in connecting highly dense job centers, but there's nothing between NYC / Boston and the distance is just too far to make worthwhile compared to flight infrastructure.

Yeah I believe so

I was responding to the question of why it would be good. But this would help provide more jobs in the area. New Haven has seen a huge expansion in housing(notice I didn’t use the word affordable). I expect the developers are expecting this to actually happen. But it would be bad for those that suffer when gentrification happens. Not wealthy myself but myself and my cohort would do better financially. Maybe allow me to be middle class instead of lower middle class living paycheck to paycheck

I was going 64, He came out of nowhere.

I would love it too. I commute to the city few times a week on metro north now, so personally this type of project would benefit me greatly.

But I also recognize that basically every passenger rail in the country (possibly literally every?) is unprofitable. All infrastructure projects like this run ridiculously over budget. And while I’m sure there are significant economic benefits I don’t really think they are broad enough to ask all tax payers to subsidize the commutes of high earning knowledge workers.

Back in reality......tons of folks in New haven would be pushed into outer burbs due to lack of affordability.

CT cannot expand housing supply quick enough.

But yes, no doubt it'd be great for rich folks to have new toys.

Climate change loves the idea of your ridiculous commute.

Sounds like a great sales pitch. Selling sports stadiums too?

Meanwhile real statistics show people are drinking less today than in the past

If you were still that close to it you must've been going pretty fast yourself

It would bring economic growth to the city and allow people who live there to get higher paying jobs in NYC. I would love to work in NYC I would make double my salary. I would also love not to have to drive 95 to get to NYC. it would save gas money time and frustration

That’s what happens after years of all cops being bastards.

The legal weed eliminates the “I smell weed” pretext. Not the accountability bill.

VERY poor ROI.

They don’t do anything. Pretty easy to not do anything.

Dangerous driver complains about other dangerous drivers. 🤦‍♂️

> I'm sure today's normalized binge drinking isn't helping.

What past times are we comparing binge drinking to?

Ironically it’s the rich that have protested in the past due to NIMBY. This would have direct and indirect economic growth with people having short commutes to major cities, and most likely turning New Haven into a medium size city in the long run thus helping lower income and middle income folks with higher paying jobs.

It’s not ok, just preferable.
