I did. My conclusion is that the issue is over politicization as I said. Every interested party wants a piece of the pie, that includes unions, but it also includes everyone else in a 100 mile radius.
A tram recently got built where my parents live near Paris. They had to involve something like 15 cities, 3 departments, one region, the French state, and the european union. That was lots of people who wanted to have their way. It slowed things down. But it got built anyway and now it works.
The US finds it hard to delegate trust on these things, and parties throw up objections over and over again, either because they want to kill the projector because they want to cover their ass from those that want to kill it.
