I have mostly seen Los Angeles as the epicenter for this conspiracy which has pretty damn ideal streetcar weather. Subways also went away around the same time which leads me more toward believing the conspiracy side of things given that they would not have a lot of these same problems.
The way I see it street cars are a great solution to local traffic and not very good for long distance travel. Within downtown LA for example they would be awesome or within the city of Santa Monica.

- volkl48 4y agoStreetcars in the modern "done right" sense - with a dedicated right of way, signal priority, and other similar treatments for efficiency can be great for local getting around. Streetcars in the sense of what they were at the time - Stuck in ever increasing traffic with everything else and less able to navigate around issues than a bus, boarding in traffic in the middle of the street, sitting at all the lights - are not.
