I first heard about this yesterday, though it seems rumblings have been going on for awhile, as those in the building field know.

There may be an underground light-rail subway in SF with three stops along its 1.7 mile route.  It will probably end up costing a billion a mile.  Couldn't we walk, and give that money to education and parks?   Do that many people want to go to Chinatown?   Do we want to tunnel 95 feet below the surface in a heavily congested area of earthquake country?

Would this be happening if our local Nancy Pelosi weren't Speaker of the House?
