Pulling the plug is cheaper. Sever all contracts that were awarded to try to force this through and stick the board and City Council members who voted it in to get stuck with the bills.  Spending over 8 to $10 billion plus (don't forget after charges, there will be many!) to repurpose BUS RIDERS to justrify luxe condos, market price housing developments, Hotels at shopping centers, timeshares and strip malls under TOD is crazy.  The working poor are sleeping in their cars and tents.  Th working poor who use mass transit are hard pressed to cough up $60 each month. Gutting long haul busses for this monstrosity? no.  Make it a 2 lane express way for emergency vehicles and busses. On and off ramps are cheaper than stations.  Use the Train for a hygene station for the homeless who can't pay rent due to rail driven speculation and tax increases.  Demand rent control and more housing for the working poor, and a limit on the number of Airbnb, B&Bs and timeshares. We need cheap housing!
