The things Mendelson was referring to was where to put the maintenance facility. That sounds analogous to where to put the washer and dryer instead of where to lay the foundation.

You keep saying DDOT bought wire powered cars without knowing how to run them. False. They bought the cars for the Anacostia line which allows wires. No cars have been bought for H Street yet. But now the law allows wires there.

They know where it's going to go. There's a map with lines. Other than changes which might come up 5, 10, or more years down the road as things evolve (which happened with Metro too), we know where it's going to go.

How to pay for it? There was a pot of money supposed to go to Metro for capital but which wasn't because of the FTA. That was what was going to be used. Plus the administration had identified some projects they didn't need to spend money on. That's how budgeting works. They had a plan for paying for it, and the plan was in the budget.
