I-93 and whatever future rail may exist should be privatized and not use eminent domain or taxes for their construction or operation.

The existence of freight tracks has nothing to do with the potential for HSR, particularly in a sparsely populated part of the state. They're going to have to lay down new rail without grade crossings anyway if it were ever to be built.

Why is it that every time someone argues for HSR in the US, they fail to properly account for the actual cost to construct and maintain the service in the budget? Why is it always "Save Amtrak" and not encourage more competition? Why do people get mad when I say that rail and highways should exist without subsidies and that fare prices should reflect realistic revenue + advertising and real estate leases like any other business?

"at over 100mph"
talk about setting a low bar. 186 is the average top speed in Europe. also these barely used railroad tracks are almost certainly not rated for safe operation of HSR

going anywhere on the weekends is this bad? Which road sections specifically?

With suburban sprawl we're not far behind. I'm sure more unnecessary car journeys because we can't have more walkable picturesque New England towns will get us there in time.

There is at least one retro Pizza Hut with all the old furnishings (including cups, stain glass light fixtures, and I believe also the lunch buffet)

So you're saying that your vision only works if it involves theft. All I'm asking is to make in consensual. Opt-in.

I agree but it should be voluntary. Parents of enrolled children + supportive community members will continue to fund the program that they care about.

You can use roundabout or traffic circle interchangeably. Rotary is regional and doesn't really explain what it does.

In practice it would just be used to justify more wasteful spending, not less. In a market where all surrounding states have an early bird advantage, the best thing we can do is to start legal New Hampshire weed off on the right foot. Create as few barriers as possible for cultivation, possession, sale, or consumption among adults. Also I would take it a step further and foster an industry of independently owned cannabis cafes like they have in Amsterdam. Much like bars or cigar lounges or even coffee shops, people could go there to enjoy their drug of choice in a safe, comfortable environment. The benefit comes from progressively improving and creating new industries with jobs and businesses, not regressively with taxes that steal money from Granite Staters that could otherwise be spent in other areas of our economy. Considering the price we're already paying for the foolishness of DC in reckless money printing caused inflation, the best way to counteract is to reduce the burden anywhere possible.

Don't support any politician that wants to tax legal weed or create a complex state monopoly and licensing apparatus. We have the opportunity to right past wrongs AND be competitive with neighboring states by not over-regulating.

Because taxation is theft. No transportation should receive subsidies.
