15% of the tab that probably 90% of Portlanders will NEVER use. EVER.
Sad sad sad. Requisition money from people and then spend it on something they don't need.
Don't get me wrong I support the tram, but not at the cost to those that will never use it. It benifits the 5000 or so that "might" live in the south waterfront and it might last 50 years.
I would NEVER take money from taxpayers for such a contrivance. :(
Besides, I spoke to someone recently, and in fact, Portland is getting screwed. I don't know what the deal is, but aerial trams don't cost fifty million plus to build. They just don't. Someone has screwed the design and financing.
