Motor City Light Rail: Boondoggle or Beginning of the Detroit Renaissance?
Is this the "Field of Dreams" kind of thinking-- if we build it, they will come? Do the politicians really believe using taxpayer money to build the light rail will trigger surge of economic activity in the motor city?
Isn't Detroit a rather low density city these days? What would the light rail accomplish other than increasing debt or taxes? You'll get a few jobs for a while, but at the cost of that debt & taxes for a much longer while.
I'll take "Boondoggle" for $10, Alex...
ReplyDeleteJust what Detroit needs, another empty-headed politician talking about the need to "educate the public"
