I don't think that consultants are the only reason why transit is so expensive. The United States tends to have a lot more regulations and community feedback to contend with.

The California high speed rail project is a good case study for this. They had to deal with a tremendous amount of lawsuits from people who didn't want rail in their backyard, and would often use any kind of legal mechanism to stop rail from being built in their community.

I mean, think about how the Red Line in the 80's already had budget allocated to extend to Arlington. If I recall, a significant portion of that tunnel was actually built (and still exists) before the good citizens of Arlington put the kibosh on a station in Arlington.

My read of it is they're basically like independent contractors, and Thriveworks is just a service to better connect clients with therapists. My therapist and psychiatrist haven't once mentioned Thriveworks in about a year I've been seeing them (anxiety, death in the family).

I would still suggest maybe checking in with your PCP first. That's where I went to first, and my PCP gave me various recommendations for mental health. Could be they have someone they trust they could recommend to you. Good luck!!

City Hall by Frederick Wiseman.

The House by the Cemetery by Lucio Fulci.

Pieces by Juan Piquer Simon (though, this was mostly shot in Spain. I always get a laugh about them thinking those Spanish exteriors could pass for Boston).

Of course you can't miss an all time classic like The Next Karate Kid.
