Goodbye Seattle Mass Transit

The "Seattle Way" means Seattle's way of never getting anything done. A quick poll around school today revealed that people thought the Monorail was too expensive. That's horseshit. Big public projects cost what they cost. Their value can not be judged versus some worthless cost estimate. You either pay the cost of building mass transit or you don't. The Monorail project was capped at $2 billion and it was to buy us a line from the Alaska Junction to Interbay, connecting two of the city's most isolated neighborhoods with downtown. And we chose NO. What a shame. When are we going to get fast efficient transportatoin from point A to point B in this town?
