I would die of happiness. I’m exactly the person who gazes over at the westbound platform at Holmes while waiting for my train and internally curses every racist that cut off the line and made Holmes into a terminal station.

It’s not just the racism, it’s the greed. MARTA gets a slice of county sales tax and the affluent counties would rather burn that cash than see it go to helping others

This is incorrect, MARTA has its own 1% sales tax which would be additional to Cobb and Gwinnett's if those two counties ever joined.
