White Privilege

Because trying to get those uppity white folks  out of their cars and onto mass transit requires spending millions on something 'cute' so they won't feel like 'those people'

The streetcar craze started in the whitest city in America, which is Portlandia of course. 

The entire city of Portland Oregon is a pretty good testimony to white privilege actually.
Gentrification is consuming neighborhoods one at a time like a hungry ghost.

Trimet built its very own bridge-only $1.5 billion!

Hell we even have a bridge that doesn't even accept cars on it!

Pretty funny when you consider 88% of citizens use cars

and Portland congestion is the 6th worst in America

What other city would have thought of something like that?
