Hmmm, I live in Ballard now. A few weeks ago, I was down in West Seattle working on a project. The thought of nice "train to nowhere" to take me from West Seattle to Ballard was awfully nice. The irony really stabbed my heart.

And I would be more willing to move to a better neighborhood with houses. Like the Junction or Ballard.

Wow. That photo set is a great marker for a sad day. It's hard to believe that had Seattle not been so short sighted, we could have had real rapid mass transit today. As in now. Not in the future.

It's a sad day. And in my mind, we voted 'no' on the shortened line, because we wanted the whole 15 miles. At least that's what I keep telling myself....

Just think, someday we could use these sites for some nice light rail lines going across to the Eastside and to SEKC. That is, after we finish making some mass transit lines that will actually be useful.
