Well, OK, but the two giant holes that are still in the ground down by Vesey St., after five long years, don't exactly reassure me that the corruption and endless obstructionism have even slowed down, much less stopped. So I suppose I'll entertain the possibility that it will happen for real this time - which was the pre-referendum spiel every other time - when some major construction - not just more studies - starts. And I don't suppose I'll fully believe it until the first train runs...if I should live so long...
.. and of course, this wouldn't be the first train, more like the 20th, while 2nd ave (and all the other aves) are also served by bus service as well, so it's not like NYC has been Anti-transit.  Far from it.

The People ride in a hole in the ground.. it's a helluva town.
