Oops! My bad, I mixed up my books. It's Thomas Sowell's Applied Economics. Gladwell is another strong author, however.
Applied economics discusses the secondary impacts of many decisions. For instance, the impact of housing rent regulation on housing shortages -- or the pattern of politicians raising taxes on businesses (which raises income in the short term, but eventually drives the businesses out of that region). You would like it.
>More than half
If you say so, despite the fact that the central corridor has the population of about 1,000,000 and New Mexico has about 2,000,000.
>But nah, as you say that's just a relatively small portion of the population.
Just because it services 50% of the population doesn't make it OK to write a blank check. Especially when only .0015% of the state's population rides it daily on average.
>And you're arguing against public transportation because it costs money.
Wrong, I'm arguing against the rail runner because it's an egregious waste of public money.
>Fuck everything about that.
You're so eloquent.
>It's just completely short sighted.
Really? Wanting long term goals, proper pojections, and the ability for a project to sustain itself is short sighted? You really should learn what that term means. I would also suggest you read Applied Economics by Thomas Sowell. He might help you get out of that short-sighted, narrow minded economic policy (or lack of) that you love to tout.
