"HART: WHAT IF WE WERE TO STOP NOW?"

Honestly guys, I think you've lost your credibility when it comes to projections.  

And you only have yourselves to blame for not being able to answer the question "HART: What if we kept going?"  "How much would it cost?"  "Where would the electricity come from?"  "How much would that infrastructure cost?"  You got everything you asked for and still managed to get everything wrong. Why should we believe your ridership projections are the one thing you got right?... 8 years ago and in heavy conflict with actual nationwide trends.

And what "developers" are going to sue, and for what?  No one has actually started to build any of this vaunted "affordable workforce housing" and so far, it's just been luxury condos in Kakaako and planned suburban sprawl in Ho'opili.  

Speaking of Ho'opili, if rail stops, does their zoning get pulled?  Because that is NOT a good place to build a zillion houses if you care about west side families.
