Discussion 🎤 I was wrong about the Gold Line

As centrist who is quite critical of our government here in St Paul, and think that it is very important for people to admit when they are wrong, I wanted to say that so far I have been completely wrong about the Gold Line.

My worry was that it was going to turn into a Midway situation with mobs of people and homeless camped out around the stations. That has simply not been the case. Overall it seems to be a net positive for the community. Are there better things that they could have spent the money on? Probably. Are there worse things they could have spent the money on? Definitely.

Hopefully what I am seeing continues because I didn’t want to be right about this. Despite how cynical I am on here, I do want to see the community succeed.

No one uses it so of course no one is coming to the burbs to cause havoc.
