  1. The problem is streetcars often compete for the same street space as cars, so they end up going as slow as cars in traffic, if not slower. A step above this is light rail. In looking at Los Angeles, it is a bit quicker because most of their light rail has their own dedicated lanes or runs on their own tracks separate from any streets. Unfortunately, there are spots where the lines do cross intersections or do have a few spots to share with cars. Then, depending on the time of day, your train is sitting in traffic with the traffic. In any event, doing nothing is not an option. The way things are done so slowly in the United States, almost in geologic time, we're lucky to get this far.

  7. With all the mess just over the past month, will politicians chicken-out and approve a re-vote. While not probable, it is possible.
