Cincinnati To Bring Back Its Streetcars
Add Cincinnati to the growing list of cities bringing back their streetcars, or adding light rail and other transportation amenities.
By a unanimous vote of its rightwing talk radio jocks, and support from suburban legislators, Milwaukee has been forbidden from either bringing back its streetcars, adding light rail or initiating commuter rail.

"The city plans to pay for the system with existing tax revenue and $30 million in private investment. The plan requires the approval of Mayor Mark Mallory, a proponent, and the City Council."
Hmm, seems the righties would support this. What is always interesting to me is how gentrification and streetcars seem to go hand and hand.
What you call gentrification brings in tax dollars, commerce and residents - - all of which a city needs to grow.
The only source the New York Times could find to object to the streetcar is Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute.
He was thoroughly discredited long ago.
There is nobody to take his place espousing his foolishness, since the facts are agin' it.
