Rail was built on lies.   Traffic relief, job creation and affordable housing.   We know that traffic relief will be insignificant and frankly, forcing bus riders onto rail doesn't do much to help their commute as many will have longer commute times.

The 10,000 jobs were a lie and there are far more luxury condos than there are affordable units.

Someone commented that HART and the mayor have a difficult job predicting rail's cost.   But the city spent tens of millions to pay experts who told us what it would cost.  Either those studies were completely wrong or the mayor and HART knows what the real cost is but are lying and just getting the people to commit a few billion at a time so the sunk cost fallacy can kick in where the gullible believe "it's too late to stop".
