Seattlest Voter's Guide: Sic Transit, Gloria Mundi

Still undecided about transit measure Proposition 1 on the ballot this year? Not sure about the light rail? Here's some food for thought: A Denver real estate study has revealed property values of homes closer to a new light rail line have actually increased while the remainder of the market has declined markedly: "Homes near light rail stations along the southeast line, which opened in November 2006, have increased by an average of nearly 4 percent over the past two years, according to an analysis by Your Castle Real Estate. But the rest of the Denver market declined an average of 7.5 percent."
