Proposed Expansion Could Bring Trolley to UC San Diego
I'm not sure who you mean by "riffraff." At worst, you come off as possibly xenophobic/racist/aegist, given the historical baggage associate with the term, and at best you're still someone who uses the phrase "riffraff." Pepper Canyon is west of the 5, and far less than half a mile from the VA hospital. While I think there are many disconnected neighborhoods that would have benefitted more from light-rail service than the UCSD community, this seems like an extensive plan which will connect large parts of campus to downtown. If San Diego is going to do something to get people to ride the trolley, I can imagine worse than this. Additionally, the fact that the track extension will "start" from old town is relevant only to transit nerds. I am one, and I don't care. I'm not sure why the other nitpicky facts you take issue with here merited such a mean-spirited comment. This is a fine, informative blogpost. PS- It's entirely possible the author of the post used "Veterans Administration" because the hospital is still known as the VA Hospital.— May 30, 2013 8:48 p.m.
