Your understanding of San Antonio is almost as bad as your flagrantly wrong portrayal of Portland.

There is nothing that will cause the Fred Road corridor to change in the next 100 years, PTSA. There is nothing that will cause the Broadway corridor to change in the next 100 years, PTSA. There is nothing that will cause the San Pedro corridor to change in the next 100 years, PTSA.

These are inflexible routes and having something that can be yanked and moved is not necessary.

You're thinking so small picture, as though San Antonio's inner areas are some 1,000 people per square mile sprawl fest. No. They are in the area of 5-7,000 in certain spots.

And you're saying stop with the gas and tires already? Didn't we say we'd have alternative power sources way back in the 70s? Yeah. Didn't we say it in the 80s? Yeah. 90s? Yup. We had viable fuel cell technology in the 90s and nobody jumped.

Finally, I don't think San Antonio is going to need any help for its tourism market.
