ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[taylortbb]

The stuff you want to get done, all of which I agree with BTW, will at best only shorten how long you are wasting money if you put an LRT in too early.

And I think my point is that, none of the people involved in this decision (e.g. politicians) care about that even a little. The people opposed to it will claim it's a waste of money no matter how many people use it (just like they did for phase 1). Those that support it do so because of the urbanization, not because of the costs. They wouldn't care if zero people rode it, as long as it delivered all the development/urbanization/countryside line benefits.
