Oh, no, quite the contrary. Billions of dollars have been sunk into development around the streetcar line in Portland, and a streetcar of the sort seems to be a very San Antonio solution! We have a lot of potential alignments for a streetcar available-- perhaps from Travis Park, past AT&T, and straight up to the Pearl? Easy enough, and mindful of the parades.

The action around the line is amazing
