Improved bus and rapid bus transit would be welcome, but they do not foster the economic development a streetcar line does. There are examples coast to coast of residential and commercial development booms once streetcar lines are installed. Demand of living space, retail and office space explode. As well as property values rising considerably in the areas around the line.
