My city has a decent mass transit system (bus lines and reasonably-priced taxi service), and a generous amount of bike paths. Doesn’t matter, they’re still pushing their “Modern Cable Car” and light rail, which cost way more than they’re worth. It doesn’t matter how much you give them, they always want more.

Unfortunately, that’s not limited to liberals. I agree with you about idiotic light rail and cable car scheme. All we need are good bus systems that travel are practical for passengers that need to get somewhere (like...WORK and school!) and lots of bike paths that also go someplace. Unfortunately, citty planners usually make the mass transit run nowhere, or it requires a two hour bus ride to take a trip that would take 20 minutes by car. And bike paths alway seem to go nowhere. They are always designed for a scenic ride and never for practical use. But they always claim that just another $100M will give us something practical, but you’ll have to pass it to see what you’re getting.
