@Colinvparker@capntransit I'm with the Cap'n on this. For one, selling infrastructure as job creation signals to local actors that cost is no object, because the costs are treated as a positive as well. That's what we call the "dual mandate" of infrastructure and jobs in the TCP report. But the Cap'n's main point is also well-taken, that such statements denormalize taking trains. "We're supporting Real American Workers so they can drive" (somehow, servers at restaurants in TODs aren't workers).
