Why should I be forced to live close to a station?
Why should I be forced to get up 1 - 2 hrs earlier to catch a bus when my neighborhood still does not have bus service?
Why am I forced to drive to a Park and Ride location?
Feeder Buses will not improve at all. This has been the case for 15 years you think it will change now?

I don't understand why the people are getting so screwed about this. If I want a good paying job I have to work downtown, but to work downtown costs me easily over $2000 a year. Factor in a low percentage taken off from your gross salary of 30% You are looking at $3000 more Gross per year to make a downtown job viable. And this is just to take a horrible and extremely outdated transit system. Not to mention the transit system on avg for a commuter is 1 hour each way to get to work. Thus we are wasting 2 hours of our day to live in a community we want to with grass and a house/yard to be punished. All this because we have to work downtown.
