I recently took Florida’s Brightline rail from Miami to Palm Beach, and was shocked at the overall functionality of the thing. Then, last week, the line finally connected Miami to Orlando, marking an important moment for reflection. Having spent the last twelve years in California, it’s long seemed to me America is no longer capable of building vital infrastructure. This, while generally true, is perhaps just especially true in “California,” a crippling ideology as much as a state, and while the ideology is spreading it does now have at least one, important, American exception: Florida is building. The Brightline isn’t perfect, but it does exist. That’s worth looking at.
