Must be willing to accept change if you want growth. Who cares about a night club versus having BART in SJ

The current cost estimate for the BART extension in $9.3 BILLION. That’s $1.5 billion per mile. None of that cost is coming from Biden’s deliberately misnamed infrastructure bill. As is true if all public works projects, it will not be completed at that number. Remember the cost overrun on the downtown light rail project? It’ll probably end up costing at least $10 billion to give the EastBay drug dealers, pimps, and whores their ride to and from San Jo.

The issue with Santa Clara County VTA has always been the same… The decision makers don’t use public transportation themselves. Example: The bottle neck on hwy 880, was deliberately created! Lanes were reduced so that, “commuters will be in stopped traffic as they watch the lightrail wiz by, which will encourage more riders”.
I wish that was a fictional exaggeration. However this IS how our decision makers plan.
Freeway lanes are deliberately reduced creating stopped up traffic, PUNITIVELY, even after evaluating how much longer parents will be picking up their children, health decline such as blood pressure increases, as well as actual greatly increased accident injury and fatalities… So that commuters will be punished by stopped traffic to watch the light rail falsely appear to be a better choice.

As long as this type of decision making is allowed, and these types of leaders are in control of life or death choices… Santa Clara County business owners and residents are in actual danger.

“The only predictable outcome of the BART extension is the criminals from Oakland will make daily and nightly trips to San Jose, to victimize citizens and businesses, then return to Oakland.”

DAVID WALL, we have said that since day one.

DAVID S. WALL, you neglect the new opportunity for criminals in San Jose to join others farther north in heading north to make trouble, including going beyond Oakland toward Richmond if not beyond. then return to San Jose.

More importantly, what about San Jose versus Oakland, the question being where the typical battle front or “conflict” location will be, Hayward being likely.

Meanwhile, what about real estate “plays” on the seized station location sites?

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha

u people are such marks

BART is awful, peaked in 2016, and will only serve to usher the poor of the city so the rich can hoard their tax base and not house your kids in pre-prison

why do you just sit back and watch your future burn in this dumpster fire?

do you even care about your children?
