[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was cringeworthy watching members of the nimby CC groups being interviewed on stopping the Purple Line.  Glad it’s going forward![/quote]

The issue was that it was going to cost a huge amount of money to build the Purple Line, and the projections were that very few people were going to use it, and this was pre-pandemic.  [b]Like few enough that just putting a few buses would be cheaper and less impactful to the environment.  [/b] But politicians like construction and contracts so we have the current situation.

The decisions in THREE lawsuits contradict your assertion.[/quote]
And the decision of the voters who canned the Governor who supported buses.[/quote]

Ok, let's see how many people actually use the purple line once it opens in 2027 if it actually gets finished by then.  I predict that you could have rented ubers for cheaper once you see the per person cost of using the Purple Line.[/quote]
This is exactly right. The economics of it never made sense. But once it was viewed as a developer profit mechanism, it all made a lot more sense. That’s why Hogan, a developer himself, approved it while cancelling the red line in Baltimore.

This thing is going to a terrible scandal once all is said and done but fortunately/unfortunately all of those most responsible will be long gone before then. [/quote]
