    It’s impressive what you can accomplish when the people who oppose it/are in the way don’t matter in the slightest to the people in charge.

    I’d love to see this level of expansion anywhere in the US, done properly and without targeting minorities and the poor like we do too often…

    If I could ride a metro line to work and to the store, I’d be soooooo happy. No more daily driver for me! Except my bikes, of course. I’d be saving all that money for more bicycles.

      You just gave proof that the people who are in the way don’t matter in the US either, as long as it’s about building inner city highways.

      The difference between China and the US is, that the Chinese government does what they deem is necessary and logical, ignoring the people while the US does what the deem is profitable and lucrative ignoring the people.

        I don’t know where I managed to say anything to the contrary… As you point out, I literally give proof that people in the way don’t matter.
