What Todd Hugo does not understand, probably willfully, is that transit systems are built for the future.  I'm talking a multi-generational future.  I've lived in the Chicago and New York City areas for many years.  In those areas they have had multi-modal transit systems for generations and they're getting bigger all the time.  Far, hard right-wing extremists (who always say no to everything new) just don't understand that the human race has future expanding generations that need to be planned for.  We need to plan and build now for the future.  Todd doesn't get that.
