People on this board don't always distinguish between different sorts of 'impossible'. 'Contrary to the laws of physics' is really impossible. 'Unconstitutional', in a US context, is close to impossible. 'Illegal' (like running light rail and freight on the same tracks without a time separation) could be altered by a future legislature. 'Contrary to MTA regulations' could be altered by a future MTA management, possibly needing legislative approval, possibly not. 'The TWU won't agree to it' could be changed by a future, different TWU leadership, or (less desirably) by a future ruthless union-busting management.Because so many people can't see the difference between the different kinds of impossible, we get posters here saying that things that are happily done on other US transit systems, or on successful transit systems in other countries, are 'impossible' ever to implement in NYC. It's not so. |
