However, as I have become more and more reactionary with age, I have found that I am unabashedly in favor of the Radical Progressives getting all of their power-mad wishes fulfilled. The more that happens, the more they turn everything into a pile of shit, the more it becomes impossible for people to ignore how dumb, petty, and destructive they really are. So, in that sense, McGinn would still have been my choice regardless of the tunnel...except that I wouldn't have voted AT ALL if it hadn't been for the tunnel. He's bound to be an unmitigated disaster for the city. I voted for McGinn strictly because of his tunnel opposition, on which he then immediately reneged about two days later.
