So the rest of the county that voted for Measure R don't deserve to get the best bang for their buck by spending money where the higher ridership is, resulting in higher revenue?
Numbers are numbers. It's that simple.

I'm also having some trouble figuring out how you blame the NIMBY's for the design and architecture shortcomings, the Culver City station not opening, the lack of grade separation, the car that was crushed, etc. These may or may not be MTA's fault, but they are hired to deal with these problems and the NIMBY's wouldn't seem to care either way.

I believe the contractor was responsible for the delays there.
