       | I'm an environmental studies major and a pet research project of
       | mine had as one piece of it criticism of the location of a
       | planned rail station in a protected bird sanctuary (critical
       | flyway habitat) in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it will
       | likely slowly sink into the marsh like Venice and you can't
       | create much development nearby.

       | Sadly, I don't have the political organizing talents of Emily
       | Williamson, so I've never figured out how to promote the idea
       | that it's a terrible rail plan, though I did quite a lot of
       | research into the myriad reasons it's bad, bad, bad.

         | Lampooning the station might be the best way to attract
         | attention to is faults and unnecessary construction.
