I like this town's rebirth a lot. I've been excited about it on here ever since I've known the forum. But come on, this is just a kind advertising video. I won't be that kind, now that it's saved already.
How don't they manufacture trains there yet? They've yet designed and manufactured pretty much everything possible in the past, but they still don't make modern trains, the only real efficient urban means of transportation.
I'll tell you why. Because they're scared. They are scared of it feeling promiscuous to them. Yet over here, it's only random. It's not like hearing your neighbors fucking in crappy housing, it's just random and even cool somehow. It allows you to coldly watch society and make a more accurate opinion about it for yourself. Most often, there are no good or bad looking people in a subway train here, there are just cold people who won't give a damn. They'll look at you coldly, like nothing, without a care. I like being looked at that way. It makes you feel like what you actually are, an actual random piece of society. It helps you feel at better peace. You just don't care for your transit time, you can afford being cold and careless. But maybe that's what still scares them.
So that's only the moral aspect. It's basically only impressionistic, subjective like a personal feeling. But there's the obvious material advantage of it, making room for more urban things, and sparing room elsewhere.
But they're still scared anyway. Thus the difficulties they've been through.
