The real joke is that politicians keep telling us that a public-private partnership exists in transit oriented development.  The developers are not stupid, they've been getting their way for decades and now how to grease the wheels here in this state.  The narrative that they're going to pay for certain costs of rail is just a sham and anyone whose been a citizen of this state should know that no extra money will be spent by the private sector.  Heck, I was just at Ward Theater and as I was sitting having a coffee a gazed upon the new Nobu Restaurant.  Then I realized something, the developer of that building left the above ground power and/or telephone lines!  Yes, running right along the building you have the wooden poles just as they were when the area was industrial.  I've never been in a modern city and seen such a thing.  The developer most likely didn't want the cost of putting those lines below ground or argued that it wasn't their problem.  One more half ass thing to see here.
