If you don't live in a liberal city, you probably don't see it coming.
If you've lived in a liberal city, you know these things are massive scams, costing taxpayers billions, and taking decades to complete.
One example:
Lies, exorbitant costs, law-breaking, fraud, the same elements you see over and over and over when examining these Democrat "mass transit" projects in liberal cities.Criticism
Sound Transit 3 has been criticized by supporters and opponents for various elements of the plan. The editorial board of The (Liberal) Seattle Times criticized the plan in June as coming "too soon" and too costly, calling it a "blank check" to Sound Transit.[85] The high cost of the plan, at $54 billion in year-of-expenditure dollars, was compared unfavorably to similar programs in peer cities.[86] The plan has also been criticized for not promising to reduce congestion, with Sound Transit citing induced demand and touting light rail as an alternative rather than a solution.[87]
After the release of the draft plan in March 2016, including completion of light rail to Everett and Tacoma in 2041 at the earliest, politicians demanded shorter timelines that were eventually implemented.[88][89] The inclusion of $980 million to fund park and rides for stations was criticized by Seattle Met's Publicola,[90] but was later reduced to $661 million and mitigated with plans to introduce reasonable fees for parking to manage demand, with revenues allocated to non-motorized system access.[91][92]
Controversies
During the lead-up to the election, Sound Transit was criticized for adding misleading survey questions that were found by the state's public disclosure commission to be in violation of state laws, and later pulled.[93] After the publication of the final plan and planning of the ballot measure language on voter pamphlets, a write-in campaign succeeded in placing conservative activist Tim Eyman on the committee writing the "no" statement, which upset the opposition campaign; under the state's ballot measure laws, Sound Transit's board were required to choose authors for both sides, and primarily selected current and former elected officials for both teams.[94]
In August, The Seattle Times revealed that 173,000 email addresses belonging to ORCA card holders were improperly released by Sound Transit to the pro campaign Mass Transit Now, potentially in violation of two state laws regarding protected information and use of public resources in support of a political campaign.[95] The Washington State Attorney General's Office announced that it would not pursue legal action against Sound Transit for the incident, finding no evidence that the release was intentional.[96]
Looks some up, the pattern is as predictable as a sunset.
) because high speed rail will have a far shallower turn radius than normal rail can. And of course, how do we power it with "zero carbon emissions"??
