assults private property? Private property rights?

Because trains require rails and can move only forwards and backwards, many rail projects are tied to “comprehensive redevelopment” plans that work against the claimed environmental benefits of trains vs. roads, even if the locomotives in question emitted zero pollution. In addition, these plans necessitate central planning on a grand scale, increase eminent domain abuse, and incentivize assaults on property rights. Buses, in contrast, can depart and arrive virtually anywhere and re-route at will given road conditions.
