Agree there. But that's why I take issue with MOOSE in regards to their litigation and various challenges with the CTA, courts, etc. MOOSE always seems to make the argument that they are prepared to stand up this rail network in a very short time frame and therefore the municipalities shouldn't continue with their existing plans but rather cater to MOOSE. All it does is waste time, effort, and energy of folks who could be better serving the public interest.
As for greenfield development. How many years (decades??) would that take to happen, and does MOOSE honestly think that these developers will happily fork out millions of dollars every year until such time as they can actually build and populate these new developments?
