Hello Joe,

You make some wonderful valid points but I would argue with light rail taking cars off of the road.  On that point we will have to agree to disagree.  I have no problem with real infrastructure that works but according to ST's own assessment the light rail WILL NOT take cars off roads.  They will just relieve the congestion of busses.  I agree with roads and real rail.  I think we would be better of if they sunk that money into fixing our power grid so it does not get hacked as San Francisco and NYC did a few weeks ago.
