IronTiger Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) The love affair is over.

If anyone tries to find holes in the report, you'll just reply with more of the same, flooding this thread with links, all from pro-transit opinion pieces or other sites. There will be at least 3 more pages of arguing that will devolve to more of the same freeways vs. trains crap (expect Culberson to be mentioned in a negative light), and it will only stop when people lose interest or Subdude starts issuing warnings. There. I just accurately predicted the future of this thread. You can thank me later. Edited May 28, 2014 by IronTiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
