First, there are ways to have an adult discussion while proving claims are not true. I don't see how that explains rude, board bully behavior.

2nd, you should go back and read the study I presented. Not the Austin prop A one, the other one. Trains crammed with 200 pp/car doesn't sound real pleasant to me, and is just as counter factual. I can guarantee you when it arrives with 200 pp in the car, my wife will be demanding we leave the station and call and Uber.

3rd. Austin only has 1 or so million people to move. I think new technology can make that happen just fine. We are not talking about a city of 10 or 20 million people. Think we are going to get to 10 million, I wonder where the water will come from?

4th. If it gets approved, my life will go on. geeze, lets have a discussion.
