Milwaukee Approves Streetcar. Connect it to Bradley Center 2.0?

Right, that is my point about the leadership, you gotta make tough calls.  The city and county can't say they don't have enough revenue, they just have to make sound decisions.

We have the population density to support mass transit, we just have morons in charge who can't take leadership positions on anything.

I know this might end up down a political path, but what has the city or county of Milwaukee "accomplished" in the last 20 years?  I've only lived in Milwaukee since 1999 and I see incremental improvements, but I really can't figure out what the leadership of this area has accomplished other than not having it turn into Detroit.

That bold part is actually important and fairly impressive.

Detroit guy here. The city is making a huge comeback and there's been a lot of investment made both publicly and privately to make sure this happens. Ironically, two of the things that you guys seem to argue about most (streetcar and a new stadium) Detroit has already broken ground on both projects.

Our streetcar is in it's initial phase and is going to be roughly 4 miles long going right up Woodward Ave which is the main street in DET. There's plans to expand it to the suburbs, but for now going from Downtown to Midtown is plenty. And the new Red Wings stadium is going to be incredible. Not only are the investing in the actual stadium, but there's plans to build 4 neighborhoods around it. The future is bright here in Motown and I'm excited to watch it unfold.

Of course, you can only go up so any progress is progress.  The governance of the city was a disaster for 50 years.  A long uphill battle, but it appears some of the adults are finally in charge, even though they are getting in their own way from time to time as well.
