In projects, big and small, the powers-that-be must listen to diverse voices and not solely railroad their pet project through. This is an epic mess brought about by intransigent politicians, bureaucrats, and big money. (Unfortunately, they will not be accountable.)

First, the rail was touted for traffic decongestion, then it was for affordable housing, then it was for Transit Oriented Development (TOD). How is the public going to benefit from this runaway and what is really needed to help control traffic problems for us?
