Perhaps someone could also show what "tax revenues" freeways and other
roadways have supposedly brought us.  Any comparative analysis will
show that public transportation benefits quality of life whereas more
roadways make it less feasible to use anything other than automobiles
to get from point A to point B.  Reducing the viable transportation
choices, by spending the vast majority of public money on freeway
expansion and other roadway projects, reduces everyone's quality of
life.

Looking forward to taking the subway from downtown Pasadena in 2004,
