The only difference is cost subway is roughly triple

Yup absolutely

USAA is a very big employer in San Antonio.

No those are all the cities I've taken rail in. Commuting you can limit to Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, Vancouver, and New York. And yes Las Vegas is a monorail.

My point is LA is the ultimate car oriented city but even it realized that a strictly car oriented society is not the answer. Houston will find out soon enough, the hard way.

Not putting it downtown is short sighted. If you can't see that you're blind and/or biased.

I take it five days a week. And I've taken it in San Francisco, New York, boston, Mexico City, London, buenos Aires, Rome, Tokyo, Vancouver, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and Dallas.

1. It wasn't always like that. In fact it had 1500 miles of streetcars at one point. Insert your point here about how your dad took them. 2. LA also thought it never needed rail, and now is aggressively building it at a pace faster than any city in north america 3. Why do the car lovers always take rail as a threat on their way of life? It reminds me of when the hint of gun control is mentioned to gun owners.

Sounds like LA 30 years ago.

We did remove rail parallel to I-10. Thanks tom delay.

Just ignore them. That being said if you're white they find you as more of an easy target for whatever reason.

Pretty much every out of town person I've spoken to thinks we are a backwards city for not having some kind of rail connection to our airports. They find it stunning, in a bad way.

Definitely not particularly with the construction and hot lanes. I find this comment from you interesting, being that you think driving on or through streets with the light rail is so tough. Hypocrite.

No. The northwest transit center and the surrounding area is extremely confusing.

Burnett is near 45, 59, 288, 10, and the future hardy extension. NW mall is not an easy place to get on any freeway from.

A lot of people on Dallas forums are ripping the NW mall site.

Wrong

Master-planned is basically de facto zoning

I doubt all th NIMBYs feel the same way. No surprise here. It takes a vision to understand Rent a car to go downtown? That's a very dumb idea

At one point there was an idea of a line linking northwest transit center downtown I think on the original 2003 referendum.

Even if there is an uptown and university line there still needs to be an east/west line from northwest transit center into downtown, something parallel to university line.

Good

Logical fallacy? Do trees not absorb carbon dioxide?

Chinese have offered funding for the California high speed rail and also LA to Vegas. No surprise there. Also, Japan China France and Spain are all trying to get in to the budding high speed rail in Southeast Asia as well, India in particular. They're trying to sell the technology and knowledge.

I disagree. I lived by a Kroger at one time and the truck unloading each night at the dock was unbearable. Common sense says trees are better than concrete for air pollution.
