BREAKING NEWS TODAY!! (last week?)
None other than very Right Wing, conservative JACK CASHILL has come out SQUARELY AGAINST MASS TRANSIT here in the Kansas City area!
Shocking!
Imagine that!!
A middle-aged (senior?), very white, middle- to upper-class, again, Right Wing, conservative--Republican? Libertarian?---coming out against MASS TRANSIT!!
Naturally, I first read of this shocking, shocking development over at some local blog.
KANSAS CITY URBAN PLANNER FACT CHECK: CONSERVATIVE JACK CASHILL EXAMINES DENSITY & PUBLIC TRANSIT ROLE IN DEADLY CORONAVIRUS!!!
Thank goodness I checked that out! (Thanks for the heads up, Ton...)
You just can't get any more controversial or daring than that!
You just can't get any more controversial or daring than that!
Be able to take light rail from, say, the airport to downtown? Or out in the city??
Have the city bisected by light rail with East/West and North/South routes??
This daring Right Winger is having nothing of it!
And Mr. Cashill so rightly makes a DIRECT CONNECTION between this MASS TRANSIT NONSENSE and the current CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC!!
We knew there was one, right??
So what if light rail is successful in St. Louis and Denver and, oh, I don't know, Chicago and New York and EVERY OTHER CITY it's in ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD!!
Next thing you know, people will want to---oh, I don't know--SAVE MONEY and SAVE TIME and have it be CONVENIENT and POLLUTE LESS??
I say again---GET AROUND THE ENTIRE METROPOLITAN AREA EASIER AND FASTER AND MORE CONVENIENT AND LESS EXPENSIVE AND POLLUTE LESS??
We'll have none of that!
We'll be gripping our steering wheels UNTIL WE DIE, right Jack??!!
Thank God someone, someone is taking on these tough, tough, controversial issues in this day and age and area!
God bless you, Jack Cashill!
Keep up that great, ground-breaking, courageous work, sir!! We're right with you!!
Back here in the 1890s.

Good for Cashill. I agree with him.
You should be so proud.
If I were you, I'd stay anonymous, too.
