Still waiting for the new. All I see is the well meaning construction of a three mile section of rail that will provide a convenient ride to those fortunate enough to live and work in a gentrified area, and a fabulous subsidation for the billionaire investors who invested in real estate there. Hockey and basketball fans will be able to shuttle between restaurants, bars, and parking facilities if they can afford several hundred dollars for a night out in their white playground.

Now that the jokes are done. I agree with your post, SSDD. I feel this is turning into a coliseum Disneyland.
