"Like most everyone in town, we got all hot and bothered after the Transit Costs Project put out a report arguing that the city and state should raise $1 billion per year over 40 years to fund a massive expansion of the subway system, bringing the joy (and economic development) of truly rapid transit to more neighborhoods."
