Seattle avoided a costly rail mistake by ditching a monorail idea. California, pay heed.
Seattle once toyed with building a monorail to whisk locals across the city. Sounds glamorous, right? Yet, they wisely backed out, sparing taxpayers a hefty bill. The project was slated to cost hundreds of millions. Seattle dodged a financial bullet, something California could stand to learn from. Why let the government drain your wallet for projects that may not see the light of day? It's a lesson in vigilance and questioning the motives behind grand projects. The people of Seattle said "No!" to unnecessary government intervention. Bravo!
