Should all public transportation be eliminated because all public transportation systems are subsidized, with the possible exception of the New York subway system. Should parks and libraries be eliminated because many people don't use them?

What about all of the investment that has taken place along the streetcar line because of this streetcar? All of this investment is bringing tax dollars into the city to pay for needed services.

What is wrong with being a city/metro area that provides different transportation options and enables both urban and suburban lifestyles?
