The scope for Sound Transit 3 is too small, primarily due to our Legislature kneecapping Sound Transit's taxing authority, and sub-area equity forcing Sound Transit to not build high ridership lines like what was proposed along the 44's route (which would have been the 2nd highest ridership line in the region, after Ballard to Downtown). The appetite is definitely there, we can't build or zone our way out of traffic, and short of Trump killing Microsoft and Amazon like he did Boeing recently (with the spate of canceled 777 contracts and all), the city will keep growing.
