And the people who support the convention center probably say the same thing in regards to the streetcar, that they hope its more than just some toy train to shuttle people around the CBD/Bricktown/Midtown. I wouldn't cast stones about budgets yet until you see how much it's actually going to cost to put the streetcar in (hint: more than what you probably think. Also, I'm not anti-streetcar, just pointing that out).
