Hopkins is still a decent place to live where you can walk down the street at night and feel relatively safe. It's a quaint small town with several antique shops, a theater, a couple coffee shops, and a Big 10 that serves incredible homemade clam chowder. Ford is right not to want the rail for the reasons he states. Unfortunately, there are too many factors currently at play to defeat Ford's argument. For one, the transportation board is decreasing funding for roads in place of supporting the rail and more bike lanes. There is also a boom in apartment and condo buildings popping up in Hopkins, creating a lot of congestion on 169 (when it is open) and in town. Residents moving into these buildings will likely want to ride the rail to avoid traffic, even if they have to sit next to someone who just shit their pants. Once you've taken a ride on the Amtrak coming from or going to MSP airport, you'll understand this.

“You listen real close. All the Chicago and Detroit riff raff that have moved into welfare-apolis, they’re gonna get on that train. And you know where they’re gonna end up? They’re gonna end up down at the Depot [Coffee House], and they’re gonna end up with [your] … granddaughters and daughters and grandsons."
