I like trains. Lagunitas, Forest Knolls, Woodacre, Fairfax, Pt.Reyes Station were all villages founded along a train that could get you to school, work and shoping all the way to San Francisco. All the houses were built within walking distance (1 mile) of the stations , which in the Valley were often just a mile apart.
You just can't set a couple stations miles apart on top of sprawl and expect the ridership to support a train to nowhere. I like trains, I just don't like profiteering at taxpayers expense.
Thanks for acknowledging my Pacific Sun endorsement.
