Yeah, pre-COVID I totally got the rationale of connecting the third largest employment center in SEPA with the first and second largest employment centers. My office is in University City and I regularly commuted on the NHSL for over a decade. I like the high speed line; it's timely, efficient, and not expensive like regional. I don't even care about transferring at 69th Street. But I go into the office maybe once a month now. The NHSL station lot near my house definitely has more daily commuters parking again but it doesn't look like it's back to pre-COVID levels. I dunno, I guess what's going to happen is going to happen. I'm neither for nor against the expansion. I'm a NHSL fan but meh.

Reply to comment by SgtKetchup in Voting by mail by Pickles716

It is dumb but essentially it's because absentee ballots are spelled out in the state constitution and mail ballots are not. And why would Republicans in the General Assembly do anything to help get rid of redundancies or help make voting more accessible and less confusing for all? We could approve a constitutional amendment to fix this discrepancy or we (generalized Republican we) can piss and moan about the mail voting law passed by an R majority in 2019.
