A Weird thing I have noticed people always complain about when a metro and light rail system expansion is proposed is the idea that the metro system will lower property values when typically they do the opposite for cities. Like I get concerns around gentrification but the whole fear of property values being lowered by public transit really seems like thinly vailed racism because white suburbanites tend to associate public transit with black people
This is a crime issue, not a racist issue, you stupid fuck.
Please tell me, how does public transit cause crime? Cities like Seoul, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, and Tokyo all have incredibly extensive public transit and are considered among the safest in the world. There is no correlation between public transit and crime. You just falsely associate cities and poor people with crime because you saw a crime happen in a film once. Crime peaked in the 90s and isn’t going back up no matter how much you whine about violent crime and the need for a stronger police force despite the US having one of the most militarized police forces in the world
