A lot of development was riding on Prop A I think. If you are renting I suggest buying property quick because I gotta feeling that things are gonna get crazy expensive now. I mean they already are but it's just gonna get worse.

I hope that the rail system ends up being grade separate from the streets when it is above ground. Light rail that interacts with street traffic is nothing more then a trolly or street car to me. It should be modeled after the DC Metro system. Or at least something like the LA Gold Line.
Also they should implement turnstiles or the more modern versions of them instead of relying on a rider honor system like Houston does.
