      <![CDATA[The mythical blue collar gal can't walk to her local watering hole for a variety of reasons. <p>

      <![CDATA[Meanwhile, the city is demoing Hillsborough street, stranging the merchants and rooting through the old streetcar line that helped spawn and nurture the neighborhoods to the west -- boy, that 10 century technology sure is complicated. This smells all too much like the Fayetteville street Mall, remember?

      <![CDATA[The whole of Raleigh has had no problem spending the *surplus* tax base generated by downtown businesses and residents for decades. <p>
    Downtown has not received nearly as much in services, etc. as it has paid in taxes to the city and county.

      <![CDATA[Yes, there are dilapidated, dirty, non-economical CAT buses running all over town for the average person who can't afford a car. The R-Line is for the urbanite who must park in any of more than a dozen downtown parking areas and enjoy a night of "driving you to drink" as the headline so aptly puts it.

      <![CDATA[I think people commenting on this are looking at this in sort of odd terms. I live in Brier Creek, and I accepted the fact that it's a little drive to downtown Raleigh when I move here.

      <![CDATA[NCWEBGUY apparently volunteers for the "Downtown Alliance". The truth is that the Alliance is a City approved Business District which, per the rules, should pay for any services it receives directly i.e. the R-Line.
