      When you look at a successful railroad like Tokyu or Odakyu, the first thing you notice is that it's permanently under construction

      It's not built all at once, or replaced all at once, but there's always a part of it here or there which is upgrading

      most infrastructure works the same way--even if new tech doesn't make old versions obsolete, wear and tear ensures need for maintenance

      Infrastructure has to be managed in a "play to keep playing" mindset, not a "play to win" mindset. Build for replacement, not permanence

      When you build infrastructure that's designed to last too long, you can end up in a situation where nobody knows how to repair it when due

      There's a similar problem when infrastructure is built in a place which can't support its upkeep--@StrongTowns writes a lot about it

      You need your infrastructure to be replaceable, and you need the replacement to be scaled to the economy that relies on it

      Why did the Hokkaido Shinkansen's first segment connect Hakodate and Tokyo, instead of connecting somewhere to Sapporo?

          Because Tokyo can support a high speed line all the way to Hokkaido, but Sapporo can't (on its own) support one at all!

          If you're a small town--let's say Whately MA--and you have a limited-access highway running through town, is it bc of your town's economy?

          No, it's because your town is conveniently situated along a route that's anchored in a much larger economy (in this case, NYC)

          If such a highway weren't anchored to *any* such larger economy, it would still be paid for by the products of such a larger economy...

          ...but as a money sink, never returning the value it's consuming. It's like a bad farm where determination to cultivate *all* the land...

          ...despite the fact that some of it is, say, barren rock, ends up in ruin because the seed grain from productive patches was wasted on rocks

          That's a clumsy analogy, hope it hold up
