As long as looking up areas and populations online and typing them up is called research, you're right, I don't do that! Actually I refuse to. You don't propose anything you swing sticks hoping to ask something. You rest in hyperbole. You state that more houses will be built, the answer to that...yep! They will because they can. But eventually we hit a boundary at which point we resort to infill. If you want to know how fast a train going up a hill will be call someone. If that worries you... You say we were backwards when Model T's were around? I submit we were the opposite. We've become backwards. When Model T's were around people were envisioning a future...now we're afraid to look forward and as a city we continue to act in the same methodology we've used for decades.
You say I'm living in a fantasy world and haven't answered questions...ummm, nope! I simply chose not to answer questions that if you'd spent your own time looking around you could've easily answered yourself. You're the one who's just asking questions.
If pessimism was a disease...you'd have it! What you call "pie-in-the-sky" is merely optimism from a person who thinks with vision. Your questions don't present any new arguments, they don't address any real problems. In terms of service, Stoney Creek bus service is one of the worst. Until it is looked at, there won't be a nice and quick way to Saltfleet. I'd suggest asking for the practice to be moved if it's such a problem. It takes you 25 mins to get there by car? If you hit the "green wave" and go across town, I can make it from James to my house in Stoney Creek in 15 mins.
Regardless, it's been stated many times that studies show that on average every dollar invested in LRT returns 6.
Anyway, I don't feel like answering all your questions for you. All of them have been asked at some point. Do your research and answer them yourself. It's not that difficult.
