Yeah, what you said. I was just tweeting with someone about this recently -- demands that Caltrain do this or that, because the people want it. I said, "How would they fund that?" and the response was, "They should be able to figure out the funding. If this is what the riders want, they shouldn't ignore the riders."
Yeah. Well, a subset of the riders want all the seats in every car removed and replaced with bike racks. Another subset of the riders want all trains to be local, and they're opposed by a subset of the riders that want *only* "bullet" trains.
I reminded of the religious joke: "God hears all prayers, but sometimes, the answer is no."
