Recently, we
reviewed the attitude by many in the city of Dallas that there should be no cooperation between the city and the suburbs. Here's what we said:
Regionalism is dead. It was killed over DART's desire to build both a downtown Dallas D2 line and a suburban Cotton Belt commuter train line...The sticking point is not D2. It's the Cotton Belt. The suburbs want it...The farther away from north Dallas you go, the greater the opposition to spending money on the Cotton Belt.
What's changed in the meantime? Nothing.
