I'm not convinced that ST3 is better than the alternative. If we vote yes, we're locked in to an incomplete transportation network for decades to come, because ST3 isn't even trying to build most of what Seattle needs; ST3 will push the rest of what we need so far into the future that there will be no hope of getting a complete transit network within my lifetime.

If we vote no, we have a chance to keep working on it. They'll have to try again in four years. The demographic shift toward reurbanization will continue. Seattle's political power will continue to grow. The ST2 bonds which are limiting us so heavily will continue to expire. We might actually be able to get a better deal if we wait - and we certainly won't get a worse one.
