Why go where you are not wanted

I live in Gwinett county and never realized that i never see Marta or anything mass transit related.

There is a transit bus that takes people from various parking points (Park and rides) in Gwinnett to downtown and back. Unfortunately it is limited and probably does not go elsewhere to the best of my knowledge.

The problem is that some people want things, but they don't want to pay for it. They demand things, and feel they should be given. So lower class people move in to a nice area, and here come the single parent families, no home structure, no father figures in these kids lives, and they run wild and destroy schools and neighborhoods. These low-class people have no respect for others, or their own property, much less anyone else's.

It seems like you are taking pride in this situation. I don't understand the point of your post, quite honestly.

What a nice little talking point you are....about as irritating and full of generalizations as the original post.

You, sir, are guilty of false advertisement.

As for the topic at hand...there's nothing there that's incorrect. Gwinnett did NOT MARTA in part for reasons of race (probably, though, more because of increased taxation).

You hit the nail on the head. Public transit is a public good - tax dollars are required to subsidize the cost of operation and thusly, its likely rates of taxation would increase.
