Jesus, can we stop this narrative? Two people(albeit very rich) did not keep transit from Nashville. Also, "misinformation campaigns" go both ways. I don't know how many times I've noticed that the facts were stretched for issues I support. Everyone does it.
There isn't always some boogieman to blame. Sometimes a city just doesn't want to spend money on something the vast majority of people will never use.
