Large impact of Federal (U.S.) policies on cities: "Streetcars Are Making a Comeback, Thanks Largely to Obama"

"In a series of momentous moves, the Obama Administration has made it
easier for cities to start or expand streetcar lines. The crux of the
changes come from the understanding that streetcars are not just about
saving people time, they are also highly useful in building an
attractive urban landscape, stimulating and channeling investment and
growth into the urban core and into other specifically targeted areas
of the city, and attracting non-transit riders to efficient mass
transit."
