Rio Nuevo and Tucson Downtown Revitalization

I thougt we voted in Tucson for Light Rail.  What is all this I'm hearing about a streetcar?

First the Arts district came and artsits along Broadway and Congress were all displaced to the edges of downtown. Now 25 years later Rio Nuevo is demolishing the warehouses of the periphery dislocating artists and artisans. The Steinfelild warehouse has housed artisans supporting 100's of people for many years in a guild concept, but the transportation engineers don't appreciate it or the economic model of a guild, so they are pushing to knock it down. 2 down only a few more to go, then we can sanitize our core and make it like ANYwhere, Sunbelt USA, from San Louis Obispo to Nashville, all the same brick and steel forms, with nary a bit of distinction or character. Souless, but easy to maintain - as if cleaning was the most important task to define a structure's shape or function. Poor tucson, so close to Phoenix, so far from God.
