Also, makr3trkr, while you're talking about fairness and all, Surrey should build itself up until it reaches Broadway-level commercial densities, have a 50,000 student university in Fleetwood, and have a proven transit corridor that carries 100,000 passengers daily.... THEN it deserves a subway. |
Seriously are we 10 years old or something?
Deserves? Deserve... to "show qualities worthy of". So let's replace that word with 'worth of' and listen to how absolutely snobby and childish that sounds.
So imagine your boss walks into your office after you ask for a raise and tells you "Well I think you should do more work and apply more effort to be worthy of a raise" and tell me how you'd react to him or her telling you that? |
Take a chill pill; I was responding to makr3trkr using his own petty logic. The "7 points" in your preceding post isn't anything new. Of course Broadway can only fit a subway; the only question is whether switching to trench/elevated/at grade for the final stretch to UBC saves enough money to be worth wrecking a beautiful part of the city that coughs up tons of property tax for relatively little municipal service.
