Public Transport ∝ Crime, Poverty, Contraband Substances & Soliciting
It’s true.
This is laughable
Texas is huge and far spread out. Public transportation doesn't make a lot of sense here like it does with small compact metropolitan areas in the small compact Northeast. I would get behind adding lanes to the roads and making it illegal to drive 5 or more miles below the speed limit on the highway with the penalty a 20K fine.
I may sound elitist but I’d gladly vote for more trains and buses if there was a VIP option that is monitored, has armed security onboard, and clean toilets. I’ve seen people get beat up on our public trains, use drugs, etc. with no bystander intervention, and just wouldn’t want my family subjected to that. So it’s a no for me.
Public consensus would have made sense 200 years ago when key Infrastructure grids were being laid out; the metro city Texas geography doesn't play friendly either to these ambitious projects. Any Infrastructure project of this size will only bring disruption to the surrounding economy and cost us billions in lost revenue in addition to the cost of the actual project.
But I trust the Masons when it comes to this stuff, so I am sure they have some tricks up their sleeves to balance all this out. There might be collateral damage in the process.
The land area of Boston is 48 square miles. Dallas alone is 385 square miles. I want better public transit too, but the area is simply too big to have all of the neighborhoods and surrounding burbs connected by public transit. It would take forever.
What you don’t recognize is that Frisco didn’t want public transportation. It opted out of it. In a way that excluded itself from the metro. It required businesses to move to them.

I don’t disagree that some kind of transport is needed with how sprawling things are, but it’s highly unlikely anything better than the DART will exist. People love cars here
Public transportation is great!
If you enjoy being surrounded by drug use, homelessness, crime, and feces.
U will need start paying state taxes for this to happen
