I didn't watch the video but I couldn't help but thinking there are going to be people in Kansas City who might point to a city in Africa with 10x the population density and far lower car ownership per capita as some kind of case study for why we should expand our $150,000,000/mile light rail system. Outside of super-dense cities with well-defined urban and business cores light rail is a complete waste of money.
