I don't think many people are trying to negatively impact the community. They just don't think it is a good investment considering how expensive rail is at being almost a billion dollars a mile and it will take up to 20 years to finish if it all goes according to schedule.
One guy I talked to made the argument that in 20 years, we should have self driving busses and if each one costs a million (current busses are like 300,000-600,000 from a quick google search), we could buy 53,800 busses with that money which would service a lot more people in a lot more unique routes which I thought was a pretty decent argument if you believe we will get self driving busses that soon.
I would rather have an oversupply of transportation so I say let's do both, but I can see their arguments for balancing taxes to pay for transportation with how much supply is needed.
