Light rail is wonderful for the companies that build them and the politicians who profit from them and the bureaucrats who run them. In my small city we are forced to support buses that travel everywhere with seldom more than 2 passengers and often with none. And it is because we cannot be a "modern" city without public transportation. The bus system in the 50s and 60s at least had a rationale. It transported the maids from their side of town to the big houses on the other side of town. Nobody else rode it then and near nobody at all rides it now.

It's true. And in Florida, you also need to invest in other public infrastructure to accommodate population growth: electric power generation, fresh water supply and wastewater treatment systems. You myopic bozos better get your butts in gear before you turn your state into an overpopulated cesspool similar to Tiajuana.
