They offered Seattle and environs a subway for the whole region at 5 cents on the dollar, but the benighted tax-complainers of our faint city whined we "just can't afford it." so the Fed gave it to San Fransisco, which is still enjoying and expanding BART. People - you either pay or you doesn't get a ticket. Thank you for “This isn't advanced economics.”
