Monorail going, going...

Alright, the sale of the monorail properties is going well and if it continues we could see an end to our car-tab tax at some point. We don't really think we're going to see an end to the car-tab tax, but it could happen, if, like, a giant gold nugget the size of a building crashed into the viaduct simultaneously digging and funding the tunnel.

But the properties sale is going well and you should be very happy about the money that's coming in. Not as happy as if we were actually doing something useful to address the problem of moving large amounts of people from one place to another in a short period of time, but happy nonetheless. So far 22 land parcels have been sold for 36.9 kajillion dollars - The city paid $25.2 kajillion when it thought it was going to have to build a monorail. Profit!
