Vancouver BC vs. Seattle: Urban Debate

[salsabike]

I moved here from out east - and I blame debacles like the Alaskan way viaduct on the initiative system..... everything goes up for a public vote around here and the citizens dither about it for years before they actually pass something...... That's also why the light rail has taken so terribly long and has probably cost millions more than it should have. I sometimes wish someone would just take charge and say alright the city really needs to do this, this is the plan and we're doing it - end of discussion.

Amen.

No. Let me edit that. AMEN.
