Just because Scarborough wants and feels it "deserves" a subway, doesn't mean it makes sense.
The problem is that when any other municipality in the country wants something (new arena, transit, infrastructure), they fight for funding, they approve things they want. That's how municipalities work - you approve things when you 'want' them. How does that not make sense? If Scarborough wants a subway (I'm not so sure the residents there want a 1 stop subway, but who knows) they should be allowed to have it, as long as local politicians are fine with having their residents pay for it. The problem is that people in Rexdale or Downtown shouldn't be paying for it. Local communities should be allowed to plan their own transit priorities - but also pay for them. It's a problem of amalgamation.
