Guys...we gotta narrow our streets
It's not valuable as pavement. It could be valuable as buildable land. I'm not committed to passing it to existing fronting landowners, they are just the most convenient designee for a 5-tweet concept pitch

why does it have to be privatized
-
the reason I said "whatever's clever" earlier is because I'm not committed to any particular way of distributing the newly-available land
-
One approach I've considered would be to pass it off to the *occupants* of fronting property, which may or may not be the owners
-
But I wanted to keep the twitter thread focused on the street aspect; if I got too detailed about the land transfer it would dominate the convo (and I just haven't given that part enough thought to sustain a good convo on it!)
-
what if instead of pulling off the sides we pull from the middle and put some rail down
-
Basically the streets that really stand to benefit from rail probably don't need to get any narrower--they need to use their existing space better
