As for Austin I like this plan. I only wish it were more ambitious. Every city in Texas is due for a transit expansion plan, IMO. Houston's latest was less than exciting. I wish San Antonio would get a rail system going there.

It actually had majority support city-wide in Nashville until the fucking Koch brothers started their campaign of misinformation. The city, admittedly, did a very poor job countering said misinformation, but still, it was quite infuriating. Austinites shouldn't get too confident, as politically it isn't that much more progressive than Nashville, and is just as susceptible to misinformation campaigns. I hope it goes better for them though!
