Ed Glaeser on high-speed rail

07/28/200907/28/2009 Lisa Schweitzer

You know those “Most Interesting Man in the World” commercials that end with “Stay thirsty, my friend.” Whenever I see them, I think of Ed Glaeser. 🙂

He IS pretty interesting. And he was wrong once.

Anyway, he takes up high speed rail here. And he’s dead right about one thing, for sure: John Kain is sorely missed.

HT to David Levinson, the Transportationist.
