Yes, the grand promises of a urban utopia that turned into massive failures of Portland’s light rail system got Seattle’s politicians jealous and they had to get one too.

And to make sure its a even bigger unprofitable failure than Portlands, we are currently building one were most of the rail lines run through the warehouse district where the least amount of passengers would need to commute to. Whoo-hoo!!! Go Dems!!!

You can add the latest scam. Seattle put in 12 or so red light cameras, and made 1,000,000 dollars a year. Hey lets save some more pedestrians lives and add 20 more. Yeah and lets shorten up the yellow time from 3 seconds to 2 seconds.

Make the drivers convert to buses, and that will allow the City Politicians and City employees to use their SUV’s with less traffic.

Didn’t they also build a hotel for alcoholic bums?
