Transit & Tunnel hatred

In general I don't get the hatred directed to either a replacement tunnel or transit initiatives. The same people who complain that we can't afford to build it intentional try to drive up costs by filing lawsuits, tyring to get referedums on the ballot, etc in an effort to delay construction (we still have to pay for staff and operational costs during the delays, we just don't get workable solutions in the interum). They also, self-servingly, complain about a lack of leadership when they invest so much time in throwing up roadblocks.
