I like it.

I look at things like the people mover in Detroit which is rider funded at a rate of around 7% meaning the taxpayers pick up the other 93% of the tab. The worst part is that it doesn't run through the ghetto, its entirely downtown where primarily 6 figure earners ride it during the week and people going to watch the Tigers and Lions play ride the rest of the time.

I don't live in town but in Jackson Michigan, they're debating how to get federal funds to pay for repaving a bike path through the hood. When I was a kid, the thought of a bike path was so alien I would have laughed at the idea of riding on a purpose built paved path. They also got stimulus funds for a river arts walk and a couple of "rain gardens".

Meanwhile I live in a tiny town in the outlying county on a dirt two track street and I'm doing fine.



OH THE HORROR!!!!!
