Yea, my city sufferes from the flight of the affluent to the suburbs as well. The taxes in the city are higher and the schools are among the worst in the state. I'm looking for a home in the 'burbs myself. <br /> <br />I just have to believe the railroad presidents were including other costs in their assessment of passenger rail profit potential. I believe the other costs were probably legitimate too like maintanence of the locomotives, cars and track for example. <br /> <br />I have recently been wondering why cities don't build a commuter style railroad to take people from a city out to the airport. This would allow them to open an airport where few would be bothered by it and it would be far away from the other airports in the metro area which would help the density of the traffic in the air as well. <br /> <br />I got to go. My four year old has decided I have been here long enough.
