I don’t understand the left’s fascination with trains lol

It's the top to bottom corruption. They will leak where the tracks will be built, so their donors can buy of the land cheap before it is common knowledge.

Their donors get the contracts to build the thing, and the politicians get a piece.

It generates a bunch of union jobs to run the things.

And the taxpayers fund it all, guarantee a profit, etc.

The oldest trick in the book - buying your vote with your money. The only real difference between a light rail project and a Mafia racket is that the former is legal.
