You should oppose rail because it allows the lower class an avenue for entry into your community. Georgetown, I think, in DC has been opposing metro expansion for decades because of this reason.

Is this satire, or are you serious? This is exactly the nonsensical reason communities everywhere oppose light rail and mass transit, aka the CrimeTrain™.

  Crime on trains and in and around train stations is well documented. It doesn't add up to a reason not to have transportation. Criminals can use cars too. Those who don't want criminals from poor areas coming into their neighborhoods should oppose all means of entry: close the highways too, and put up a gated wall.
