How likely is it do you think that New York's subway could be built today? They seem to be having trouble just upgrading the existing lines.

- eru 6y agoUnlikely, but I have no special insight. Many countries in the Anglosphere (US, UK, Australia) seem to have lost their ability to pull off big infrastructure projects. I don't think London could build their sewers today either, nor their tube system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_sewerage_system#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_sewerage_system#History I'm glad to be living in Singapore where that kind of building capacity is still alive. They are currently building multiple new underground train lines. Driverless, of course.
