I don't think it is a separate discussion. King County's transportation district is extremely poorly run and cost overages are in the billions. The governing body is appointed and accountable to no one.

If people were given a realistic estimate of the costs, both financial and quality of life, I think there would have been a drastically different outcome.

Which “transportation district” do you mean?

All of them I know of are run by people who have to stand for election so they are accountable to the voters who put them there.

Are you talking about an outcome different than the replacement tunnel? What alternative do you have in mind?

Personally, I live in the South Sound and I would love alternatives that would allow me to visit the city without the hassle of bringing my car.
