    Didn’t Sweden also do this when its incoming hard-right government scrapped the high-speed rail project a few years ago?

        Well, the community is called “Europe” and the post title is a clickbaity “Govt is selling land”. There are many countries and governments in Europe and post titles should be informative.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London%2C_Ontario

          London is at the confluence of the Thames River…its economic activity is centered on…financial services…London annexed nearly the entire township of Westminster…

          As per the 2021 census, the most common ethnic or cultural origins in London are English (21.9%), Scottish (17.4%), Irish (16.8%)…

          London’s city centre mall was first opened in 1960 as Wellington Square

          Although London has many ties to Middlesex County…

          London stretches…east to Dorchester

          London proved a centre of strong Tory support…

          https://www.planetware.com/canada/top-rated-things-to-do-in-london-ontario-cdn-1-267.htm

          Fancy a stroll along the banks of the Thames River, possibly crossing over it using Blackfriars Bridge? Or perhaps doing a little shopping in Covent Garden Market before visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral?

          I’m impressed at the level of dedication there. It doesn’t appear to have its own Big Ben, though.

          EDIT:

          Definitely missed an opportunity there, Canada. Could have been twins with London, UK.

    I think it’s a mistake. I think that the land should be kept for at least two or three years to…look at what can be done within that space

    I mean, I assume that whoever buys it is going to do the same. It’s probably not going to become some deserted wasteland.

          Its great when stupid people tell you they’re stupid because then you can just smile and pat them on the head like you’re supporting a toddler trying to form a proper sentence.

          Hint: it’s you, you’re the stupid.

          Another hint: Europe isn’t the EU. One is geographical, the other is political.

              High speed rail is definitely something that’s important internationally. If done well, it could replace a bunch of polluting flights with a train trip

                  In the UK hs2 is a very big thing and this article was written for them, here you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of it.

                  I would not expect Europeans to know so the op posting here should make it clear,

                  Yeah, I’ll bold it for you so you can see:

                  Barely. And even then, I would not really be interested in a post about a failed government land scheme in Portugal or Austria in this community either unless it somehow intersected with EU policy or influenced relations with its neighbors.

                  Boy I sure am dumb, I didn’t realise you said Europe and not EU.
