Reducing college requirements in general is a good idea. Many many many places a bachelor's is only 3 years, and society still functions. This applies to more topics than just teaching though, and it will also never happen.

Death, but car accident injuries are way higher.

Actually it's probably their drive to and from school. But that's a risk society doesn't care about for some reason.
Not endorsing christians with guns, which i hope is obvious, but it's reddit so I probably have to point that out

Maybe, but it also creates a permanent structure that will never be able to really be expanded upon. It loses its potential energy, so to speak.

It would hopefully bring in some tourists

That's good to hear. Toll booths are dangerous and unnecessary at this point

Actually makes sense, if this sub is anything to go on republicans aren't very strong readers. The instructions must have been very hard for them to follow:/

It literally says so in the article.
Reddit must not be a lot of fun if you don't actually read anything ever.

I completely agree with you there. I think the issue is way more than the riverline, though.
I lived in Bristol borough. Walked everywhere in town and could do almost anything I needed to day-to-day, except grocery shopping. There was one, which is quite bad, especially with regards to fresh produce/healthy food. And it price gouged like crazy. A massive barrier to bristol's ability to be a good car place to live totally car free.
More broadly, the United States has a specific major shortcoming regarding grocery stores. Domination of the big box style grocery store has completely strangled any human-not-car scale grocery stores compatitiveness. Even in the city grocery stores often still have massive setbacks and surface parking. There are a huge numbers of complex reasons for this, not the least of which is the market. You can't just greenfield a grocery store which inconveniences car drivers when they can go 5minutes down the road to a "better" one. So populate the area first with dense housing, but then there is no grocery store...etc etc.
It goes way deeper than the riverline, and it's extremely hard to find a compelling alternative stateside.

Serious question: have you ever ridden the river line? It primarily serves high density, pre-war devolpements, most of which are also low income. It Serves these communities extremely well too. Maybe encouraging hoards of new TOD is a good idea too, but this comment seems to suggest you think the communities which currently benefit are somehow not enough.
Not to pull a classic whataboutism, but do you think that the regional rail system is any better? Most of the lines which serve outside the city itself arent very built up (or at least built up to a similar degree as the riverline). Seems the distinction is that riverline communities are primarily low income, whereas regional rail serves higher income areas where it's not as built up.

I tell people I'm from Philly. No one in Belgium cares enough to know what i mean when i say bristol boroughnottownshipyouhavetounderstandtheyarereallyverydifferent, sorry guys. I feel guilty every single time.
If we get to talking i do explain that I am from a town where if I go one direction on the train I'm in Philly in 40 minutes and the other direction it's New York in 2 hours. They think that's cool. Oh and they find it funny that my commute which is between two separate major cities (Antwerp and Brussels if you're curious) is less distance than between many separate parts of philly.

Man, i saw periphery and animals as leaders there. Was such a bummer. Amazing bands, super complicated technical heavy heavy metal, just sounded like.mashed potatoes. Always wonder what you do as a band in that situation. Obviously fantastic performs getting totally screwed by the venue. What a shame
