Many of the people on this board are or are studying at being urban planners. Which is better than Dan Gilbert and Ilitch. They want the public to fund a system that is slow and takes people to some doors and not to others. If you feel it's fine to just rubber-stamp what they want and leave the public on the hook for another People-Mover-style system, then by all means do your best to frustrate actual debate. Oh, yeah, I forgot: That's all you do here anyway, Vox.
