Correct, that was mostly tongue in cheek

I love the idea of it, but the benefits will be very minor. There really aren't a ton of people that move between the two areas on the proposed line. Getting to/from the CHI/Schwab to the Blackstone area will be somewhat convenient for visitors, but it will take a ton of development for population to expand downtown to really take advantage of it.

A light rail line from West Omaha to the airport would have a much bigger impact for local transportation (at an insanely higher cost). We just put in a rapid bus line partially covering that route, but it's still just buses.
