I have nothing but anecdotal evidence, but any time I've been on the JFK Airtrain, there seem to be quite a few of them. For the most part, they are not taking cabs or airport express buses. Capital projects that improve quality of life my be very worthwhile even if they are not self supporting, or improve the tax base. If something slowed or prevented a future deterioration of economic conditions it might be very valuable without increasing the tax base. A major purpose of government is to take on projects for the public benefit, if something really needs doing it should be forgotten about just because it has a cost that may not be fully recovered. |
