ie, draw a box on the screen, hit download, and [ some magic ] OSM downloads the necessary software and downloads the data in the right format and uses mirrors transparently
I tried and got totally bogged down in GIS software that totally didn't work
wtf ?????????
afaik, a lot of the problem with HSR in CA is actually a tiny number of powerful state legislators, who insist the route run thru their little town, even tho that is an idiotic idea
you have not acknowledged that there is a lack of clarity in the original source: is the "letter" from the whole committe or just from the ranking member ?
