With all the ridiculous spending going on in Dubai, it's nice to hear they're investing in something that really is worth the money. If only we had spare money to waste in the United States, we could also invest in more public transport.
Of course we do have a rare oppourtunity to spend a lot of money on a lot of stuff, but we seem to be squandering the oppourtunity. TARP only sets aside $43 billion for transportation projects, including $12 billion targeted for mass transit. I'm for improving public infrastrucure, and roads are important, but I don't see how we're supposed to kick American's off our fuel comsuming habits if we put pavement so high ahead of public transport.
