Business-as-usual is so expensive that we now have an infrastructure deficit, meaning we can't afford to properly maintain what we've already built. However, rather than this being an argument AGAINST spending on LRT, it is most definitely an argument FOR LRT.

The money that would be spent on an LRT line would be paid back in infill, intensification and better utilization of our existing infrastructure. We can't afford to build out any more, and in fact we should have stopped years ago. Building IN is our only option remaining in the long term. The capital cost to build LRT is a drop in the bucket compared to how much we will lose if we continue business-as-usual.
