Los Angeles is on its way to get the 2028 Olympics--is its mass transit system, and accompanying road/freeway system ready to take on that challenge?
Water, transportation, our electrical grid, and other T/I issues are getting in the way of affordable housing ... yet we're not seriously confronting those issues.
President Donald Trump wants to reduce the federal regulations to create highways and other infrastructure, but is he too radioactive to be taken seriously in his recommendations?
Of note is that--compared to the last GOP President (G.W. Bush)--President Trump is about as pro-infrastructure spending as any political figure of either party we've seen in a long time. However, his political issues, and his "West Wing" issues like Russia-gate, Steve Bannon, etc. have never failed to eclipse his infrastructure agenda...and Trump is certainly in large part to blame for that.
And, of course, is President Trump's approach to environmental regulations too "toxic" for many Americans to allow him to influence current and future federal infrastructure policy?
For example, after Trump's departure of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord, is there now a large enough segment of America that doesn't even want to talk about transportation/infrastructure with this president and his administration?
The President aside, the fact remains: The need to get serious about transportation and infrastructure is greater than ever.
