Awful take. We need both, public transport and easier access to towns lying west of Portland. The housing crisis in the Greater Portland can be solved by edging west which will never be a feasible area for public transport, these people will need to get near Portland easily, then an efficient public transit system could bring them into town to solve the parking issue. Simply saying EVERYTHING IS BAD EXCEPT TRAINS!! is so a non-nuanced opinion that screams "if the solution isn't perfect we shouldn't do it" and surprise surprise: No solution is ever perfect.
