Reply to comment by xentropian in TIL all 8 of the most densely populated towns in the US (and 9 of the top 10) are either in New Jersey or New York by snakkerdudaniel
Guess you haven’t heard of NJTransit? New Jersey can have all the trains we want and still have chronic traffic issues because of local traffic.

Reply to TIL in 1968 the state of Florida began to build a gigantic airport for supersonic jets in the Florida Everglades but was stopped by an environmental coalition after a federal report found the project would “inexorably destroy the south Florida ecosystem” and the Everglades by MustacheEmperor
The same situation happened in New Jersey during the same time, a plan to build the worlds largest airport in the Pine Barrens, which at the time were mostly unprotected, alongside a plan to build a planned community to support the jetport with a population of about a quarter million people.
