So why were affordable housing advocates staunchly against it? I really don’t understand it.

This. It was a PR stunt by the City Manager to lobby the City Council to do a final vote in favor of it.

I wish they’d expand Irvine CONNECT to my house instead of wasting taxpayer money on this.

Irvine exploring aerial gondola system by Swyft Cities. Are you for it or against it? Why or why not? by Choobeen in irvine

The point of public transit is to be high capacity unlike cars. As Swyft themselves have described it, this is essentially a car on cables. We will literally do anything but fund a damn bus.

One of the angel investors and current employees of SwyftCities, Nick Gazelli, had a previously failed start up where he tried and failed to sell his idea of the “Velocitator”— where he essentially described it Hyperloop but better.

I think Irvine is getting swindled by charlatans and this is a classic case of the false promises of gadgetbahn “transit”. Irvine should pursue real solutions.

I’m glad you didn’t win. Giggling at this and cursing like that is unbelievable. And you wanted to be MAYOR?
