** Here's our roundup of must-read posts
------------------------------------------------------------
The story of this week is the fallout after Metro was forced to pull 60% of its fleet out of service this week following last week's derailment along the Blue Line. Read a firsthand account of riders' experience of Metro during a chaotic Monday commute.
Why did the Metro train derail? Officials said this week that the derailment has to do with a wheel issue Metro has known about since 2017.
Later, Stephen Repetski dives into the details of Metro's safety failures, finding that one likely cause of the problem is a discrepancy in how tightly wheels were attached during the manufacturing of the 7000-series trains.
Metro is chaotic, but some might argue we're lucky to have rail access at all. Legislators are hoping to bring passenger rail to Washington County, and they're studying a MARC extension to make it happen.
Finally, read a rebuttal to an article we published last week about upzoning in Langley Park ([link removed]) . This week's piece argues that whether we upzone or not, neighborhoods in in-demand areas are bound to see higher housing prices.
