Politicians deliberately tell the public hilariously low initial costs to generate support, then you end up with a $100,000,000 per mile boondoggle that you're so invested in you have to finish it

Looks like a dildo to me

Trains are noisy and ruin the atmosphere of neighborhoods. Fuck that. I'm not paying higher taxes just so you can nerf my home's value.

Caleb Price

Xavier Campbell
