Thank you for this terrific list, which I found courtesy of Noah Smith's current Substack. Just signed up for yours, which is brilliantly named. Your NEPA section has immediate relevance to a group of rail transit hawks I've long worked with here in Massachusetts — part of a group launched by former governor and presidential candidate Mike Dukakis — seeking to upgrade regional rail and build the North South Rail Link between Boston's North and South Stations.

Speaking as one whose professional devotion to policy implementation, institutional integrity, and values in public life spans decades, your entry on the scene is the proverbial breath of fresh air. Welcome! 👋🏽 Can't wait to learn more! 🎉

This is a great list. But NEPA and CEQA are so ridiculous. We need drastic reform on both.
