Argument in Support of Phx Prop 105
Our streets badly need repair while we waste taxpayer money on light rail. Passenger rail is a 19th century solution to a 21st century problem. It is inefficient, inflexible, increases pollution, increases congestion, and takes up space on our streets which should be used for the proper solution to transportation issues, which is autonomous vehicles. Why would anyone walk or take a bus to light rail when they can be taken from their door directly to their destination quickly and safely with an autonomous vehicle? This is the future, but we must prepare for it by ensuring that our streets have the safety and capacity to handle the traffic. If you vote for Prop 105, we can take the money we are currently wasting on light rail and fix our roads.
