Hippie-fairy-tale-nonsense.

The loss of the much romanticized street car was mourned by no one. For cripes sake it runs on a fixed route that cannot be altered without millions of dollars in infrastructure tear ups. (Unlike a bus that can change routes everyday for $.00) They're being brought back as curiosities because developers have purchased every piece of real estate within walking distance of a stop, then they finance guilt-campaigns so that tax-payers will fund their reconstruction. They're a gimmick that will never be a serious part of a mass transit strategy, especially not in a horizontally oriented modern city.
