Streetcars are the latest "urban revitalization" fad. Previously it was sports arenas, prior to that convention centers, before that festival marketplaces, and way back slum clearance/urban renewal type projects. We Americans love to jump on the latest revitalization magic bullet.
If you want real transit, build modern, functional transit. Toonerville Trolleys are for tourists and barhoppers. Works for NOLA and other places where actual mobility for residents is completely besides the point. No one is building streetcar lines in Asia or Europe.
