Everyplace people live could benefit from a separate system from highways to move people around.  It's not a matter of needing it, is a matter of paying for it.  That was the deciding factor back in 1992 when rail was not approved by the council.   It took lies and deceit from former mayor Hannemann to get the council to approve rail and even more lies and deceit to get the public to vote for it.  Had the voting public or council knew the true cost rail would have been, we probably wouldn't be in this mess now.
