A comparison (?) from Ohio

Came across a series of interesting transport projects no longer in use ... including some that never made it into use, at Urban Ghost Media

Cincinnati seems an unlikely place for anything to be kept a secret, let alone the largest abandoned subway system in the United States. But that’s exactly what lurks beneath the streets of this inoffensive Ohio town: a vast network of abandoned tunnels and half-finished stations testifying to one of the city’s many long-lost dreams.

Cincinnati is a little larger than Plymouth and considerably smaller than Bristol ...

Exploring Cincinnati early one morning, I found myself inside the massive Riverfront stadium. A Janitor came over to see who I was. "What's the capacity?" I asked. "Well" he replied. "When it's full, of course". Ask a silly question. . .

Don't USA cities have a lot more autonomy, both in planning and finance, than their UK^▸ (United Kingdom) equivalents? It might be interesting to compare the geology as well.

Local Authorities almost everywhere have more more autonomy, both in planning and finance, than their UK equivalents!

I remember explaining to someone in a European local authority the powers of the Welsh Assembly (when it was first formed) and he was amazed that his local authority had more pwers than that!
