You're entitled to yours, but it's as point of view in our opinion that's dismal and devoid of inspiration for a better way of life. Infrastructure costs money, and the current generation -- like all generations -- pays for improvements made to benefit earlier generations. But here's a point we're missing: OUR current generation seems to have skated past some of the infrastructures that should have been built -- sewer improvements, for example. We got a pass, and our children can blame us for not stepping up when we should have. And if we sentence them unending and growing congestion with no way around it for all the decades of this century, then we'll REALLY be tagged as the worst generation. Take the train, avoid congestion. It's as simple as that, and who's to say where your kids will live anyway? Maybe they'll be among the "lucky we ride" group.Doug Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191683240304122047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937602330391830242.post-69135462364965181152012-08-03T00:03:13.843-10:002012-08-03T00:03:13.843-10:00The rail will not bankrupt the city.

It would be more accurate to say that Cayetano's BRT system will force the city to raise property taxes and would be more likely to bankrupt the city than rail.Roy Kamisatonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937602330391830242.post-53359781702818020482012-08-02T08:05:49.081-10:002012-08-02T08:05:49.081-10:00Ben's plans are to fix the sewer's , road&...Ben's plans are to fix the sewer's , road's and start up a betterl traffic solution with BRT. With rail our children will be paying a heavy price to maintain two system's , rail and the bus. Ask yourself this question, why are people still buying new car's , to park them in there garage? We as american's love our car's and our freedom and I'm sorry to say but we won't get out of our car's no matter what system we go with. 5.5 billion Rail or 1.2 billion BRT. I would rather be in traffic today then see my children still stuck in traffic and paying a heavy price for something we hope someone else will use.

As Rick Blangiardi from HawaiiNewsNow replied to Ben's misleading ad, why not add in the traffic from the west coast to make your numbers even more convincing.Roy Kamisatonoreply@blogger.com
