Considering the streetcar isn't even operational yet [[though we know for a fact many developments have come because transit is improving) you really can't say the Greyhound Station has been more important to the city that moving it to another location [[perhaps one in downtown?) would prove detrimental to anyone or anything.
I don't dismiss any transit. Everything has their use and function and buses, trams, light rail, metros, paratransit, cars, and bikes all have their need and place in an urban environment. You say many of us don't have a clue about urban issues and transit and then you either never come up or you do what you did above and say the "trolley" is going to be some hipster choo-choo which doesn't advance anything in a discussion. The M-1 Rail is the building block back to an urbanity that creates density, walkability, and cohesiveness. You just keep saying our ideas are "awful". They're just ideas, dude. You want to express some of your own, go ahead. We would love to hear them but for the most part they're just tired negative comments.
I'd rather want a stadium that supports a major league team, hosts other soccer events, and private parties or weddings like many do than an abandoned skyscraper that has no function because it's cut off from the rest of downtown.
