They’re building 29 miles of tunnels with zero tax dollars. Not worse actually.

They have paid with land instead. Land which has value and would have gone into the same pot as taxes, so that is horseshit really.

The stations are mostly located underground in private property actually.

LVCC loop is a people mover system. It works as designed requested by the LVCVA. It cost $160 million less than the next closest bid for a people mover rail actually. Saved the city tons of money.
