What are you talking about? The Washington Metro is high-capacity heavy rail. The Charlotte Lynx is low-capacity, street-running light rail.
And theoretically Charlotte could shut down the Lynx tomorrow. How is this any different? You do know that rail lines have been abandoned in every city all over the world, right?
Don't you think that a better explanation for the growth in Charlotte and the decline in Detroit may have something to do with the relative strength of their economies, and not whether or not a choo-choo train replaces buses on the main street?
Great, some Hamptons Road exec wants federal pork $$ for Hamptons Road rail. Big surprise.
