If you live in New England, you need to be aware of the plans
New Yorkers and Washington Democrats have to take over your state and community.
They literally want to move millions of inner-city welfare recipients into the remaining New England countryside - and turn it into a giant, connected suburb of NYC and Long Island - all one place, with short commutes via North Atlantic High Speed Rail. This would forever destroy New England states - even all the way to Bangor ME, as being separate in character from New York City.
see their presentation of the problem and solution - this will transform New England into a NYC suburb. Daily workers can live in RI and work in NYC. New housing projects for welfare population in New England countryside, that will turn the "megaregion" into a giant suburb.
The problem
Once the drivers of the national economy, cities like New Haven and Hartford, CT; Springfield, Lawrence, New Bedford, MA; Woonsocket and Pawtucket, RI; Rutland and Brattleboro, VT; Manchester and Nashua, NH; Bangor and Lewiston-Auburn, ME, and Hempstead and Farmingdale, NY have all lost a significant share of the megaregion’s population, employment, and tax base since 1980. New York City and Boston have become overconcentrated, too big, too costly, and too congested to be sustainable on their own...fragile, single points of sensitivity to the certain disruptions of climate change, as well as other shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Engaging the small cities of New England and Downstate New York is what will reduce the overall cost and fragility of the megaregion, enabling it to accelerate its sluggish job and population growth.

"The tunnel, on the other hand, would connect the seven million people on Long Island to New England"
"It would mean more employment and housing options, especially for city residents."

Fast trains expand housing markets.
People who work in Manhattan or near Downtown Boston could live in an intermediate city like New Haven or Hartford and commute. This has many different benefits:
It enables two-income couples to live in a city in the middle and then work one in New York, one in Boston.
It encourages more transit-oriented development near the train stations at intermediate cities, where today there is less development because trip times to New York and Boston jobs are too long; new development helps alleviate the regional housing shortage.
It makes it possible for people living in lower-rent intermediate cities to travel to New York and Boston to socialize, which means they can also move without being socially isolated.
Addition of infill stations to serve more communities in existing urban areas
Construction of high-level platforms to speed travel by reducing dwell time at stations and increase system accessibility
