The rail relocation or the TTC? And whichever it is, it always helps to list some actual reasons.

"This is a huge bad idea for a large nuber of reasons."
Here is a "nuber" of reasons that it is good and valid, according to the Texas Constitution-

http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/txconst/sections/cn000300-49-o00.html

"SECTION 2. This proposed constitutional amendment shall be
submitted to the voters at an election to be held November 8, 2005.
The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or against the
proposition: "The constitutional amendment creating the Texas rail
relocation and improvement fund and authorizing grants of money and
issuance of obligations for financing the relocation,
rehabilitation, and expansion of rail facilities."

You seem to resent the will of the voters, and our elected legislature. And please present 1 legislative fact supporting your stance.

Here a a few good reasons from the text of the Texas Constitution-
"(b) The Texas rail relocation and improvement fund is
created in the state treasury. The fund shall be administered by
the commission to provide a method of financing the relocation and
improvement of privately and publicly owned passenger and freight
rail facilities for the purposes of:
(1) relieving congestion on public highways;
(2) enhancing public safety;
(3) improving air quality; or
(4) expanding economic opportunity.
