Pick one city (you can choose) and demonstrate actual outcomes, (not feasibility studies, which are not only projections, but notoriously politically motivated) with a preponderance of evidence that links the outcomes with the development of light rail. ...and politicians "saying so" isn't proof. |

Wow, what a bunch of negative Nancys! Are the proposed Columbus Streetcars going to cost anything to ride? Also, the argument that this will hurt independent business is kind of offbase, though I do see your point. BUT Say the streetcar passes, is built and is widely popular, bringing more business to the businesses on its route. With the increase in revenue, businesses can sustain increasing property value. If it is a good business. Sometimes they just don't work out, and it really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not they are independently owned or chains. I have watched many chain stores tank after a couple of years. Whenever you start a business, it is prudent to really hack out the rent details, make sure renewal options are SOLID and protect you from outrageous hikes. Cincinnati City Council votes Mondays on our Streetcar proposal, I am STOKED. I hope it passes! |

Property values increase all the time, genius. Whenever a property sells for more than the auditor currently values it, they increase and match the sales price. If it doesn't sell the auditor still increases it when the reappraise, in good markets (or basically the last 8 years or so). You and Mayor McSpendAlot will convince people soon enough. How did the Skybus investments turn out? I am sure the mayor just knew Skybus would be successful. Talking to you =
