The idiots who put the DART Rail in here in Dallas put the downtown tracks in the street. Not only do they regularly kill people but they also take up space that was formerly available for use by cars, thereby further congesting the streets of downtown Dallas.

We have trains crossing streets all over the place up here. The only people hit so far are idiots who deliberately step in front of the train and one dolt bicyclist who rode his bike smack into the side of the Sounder a few months ago.

What is it about Houston's train that makes it so dangerous?
