Reply to "Interesting wrinkle on commuter rail in NYC"

I was debating yesterday as far as chiming in, but thought this topic might disappear because of "politics" being involved. However, you can't weed out politics when politics are in fact involved in these projects.

As a railfan, I would love to see new tunnels and other projects.

As a taxpayer who lives in the New York Metropolitan area, I cringe every time I hear of some politician's great new plan.

One great example is the $4 Billion station at Ground Zero/Freedom Tower called the Oculus. Yes, $4 Billion. Personally, I think it looks beautiful, but $4 Billion is a lot of pizza!
