In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

"These things to help generate urban infill development and they get more ridership when they are designed to connect urban neighborhoods instead of being small loops that never leave downtown.  Streetcar to Riverside or Springfield with downtown in the middle anyone?"

Development in Brooklyn stalled with the housing crash, but a streetcar line running up and down Riverside Ave to Bay St would be a fantastic way to spur aprtment/condo development across the street from the Brooklyn office buildings.
