Now that's actually a good, defensible reason why it may not be desirable to live near the line, if not a reason why living there would be undesirable. My scrutiny of Vox stems from my suspicion that he's disruptively trolling, but Lowell has asked me to be civil, so I'm trying to be as civil as I can.

But, yes, you're right. Detroit has suffered, traditionally, from a lack of crosstown thoroughfares. In streetcar times, there were some decent crosstown routes. Hopefully, after we get a few radial lines running, we can go for crosstown routes too. The Baker car, for instance, connected Southwest and Hamtramck. Wouldn't that be something? Dinner at El Comal followed by drinks at the Whiskey? Hope springs eternal...
