Yes, light rail is a huge step forward for Phoenix, but instead of making a dismal place tolerable, as implied in the original post, it has made a good place even better.

As for the extensions, those are funded by Proposition 400, which was approved in 2004 by the voters of Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and most of its suburbs. 37 miles are planned, although actual construction will be contingent upon the level of tax revenues coming in over the next 15 years. Additional extensions have been discussed, although no funding sources have been identified yet.
