I live in Sacramento, near our Light Rail installation, which runs for more than 30 miles from the city of Folsom (yes, that Folsom) to downtown along Folsom Blvd.
As I drive along Folsom Blvd and gaze at the wide right-of-way that the Light Rail system occupies, I can't help but wonder how many trees were chopped down and how many houses & small businesses were leveled to make way for this 100-150 foot wide desert of gravel & steel.
Thermidor wouldn't hear the question. As soon as you say "the wide right-of-way that the Light Rail system occupies," he'd clap his hands over his ears and go LALALALAicanthearyou. -Ed.
