LRT will cost more in the long run than subways
Not really. The LRT won't last nearly as long as subways, and it will cost more in car driver gridlock than the subway will have cost to build over the time frame of 15-20 years. The fuel waste in traffic slowdowns alone is bad enough.
@RichA please look at Portland to see first hand what the difference between streetcars and LRT is, as they operate both kinds of systems.
EDIT: Also, while I disagree your political views, please realize that the Stintz plan is far more fiscal than Ford's.
