You guys are funny.

Original post date of the proposed light rail "September 25, 2008"

I could have built it myself before now... by hand .

They can barely keep the empty people mover running.

"No rail project, no matter how nice, can singlehandedly reverse the systematic decline of a once-huge city. Development will come to downtown Detroit when there is a demand for housing units and employment there, not when there are tracks along Woodward Avenue. Moreover, the city’s existing employment-housing imbalance, in which 60% of the city’s job holders go to the suburbs for work, means that a downtown-focused project would likely be ineffective in resolving the commuting needs of many people."

Buy a car move to a city with an actual mass transit system then sell your car.
