All this talk of rapid transit is moot. I can guarantee this to you—South Delta residents will fight and oppose and do anything in their power to prevent rail transit being built down here. In the neighbourhood I live in, people are furious over a townhouse complex replacing fenced off land because it will increase population. Hell, I've heard many people say they oppose the new bridge because it will relieve congestion meaning more people will want to move here.
"Density" and "growth" are the two worst words you could possibly say here, and people will not let you build anything that they will perceive as growth-creating. You might be able to get away with a BRT line, but rail transit will never, ever be supported here.
