Actually it seems Vancouverites have changed their tune on Light Rail juding by recent polls. So you think your personal vehicle is not subsidized? I'm going our on a limb here, but I'm guessing you are not an economist. And what "science people" are you referring to? And why do you want the citizens of Portland to subsidize a bridge so that you can live in cheaper housing in the suburbs of Vancouver? It's a shame you may have to "suffer" with the old bridge, but then again, that's a cost factor too isn't it?
