Yes, Arlington and Fairfax County, with some assistance from the Feds (hopefully) will fund this project.

Why do you think it's a boondoggle? It's not a billion dollar project, not even close. It's a modest streetcar project, and nothing more.

Would you think differently if the project was an underground subway or a light-rail project with its own right of way? Would that lessen its boondoggle qualifications?

Personally, I believe bringing Metro down Columbia Pike and beyond is a wonderful idea. But it ain't gonna happen in the foreseeable future, if ever. Unless, of course, there's a sea change in thinking and the creation of a new funding source, like a modest increase in the sales tax.
