If I can add one more for today, on L.A. Times Bottleneck Blog (which seems to be moderated by people who are addicted to the declining car culture and are desperate for some road or automobile based solution to Los Angeles’ transportation problems), there is a movement to add a “This Blog Supports the Subway to the Sea.”

The Bottleneck Blog says “it isn’t taking sides.”

Idiots.

What’s the other side? Ever worsening congestion? Harming the economic and environmental sustainability of Los Angeles so some delusional homeowners in Hancock Park and Windsor Square can continue to delude themselves that they live in a suburb in Sam Yorty’s Los Angeles?

It’s not like there is a 50/50 argument here.

By not taking sides, the Bottleneck Blog is clearly stating that it is holding out for non-existent road and automobile based solutions. Unless they think Maglev to Wilshire/Western forcing people to transfer is the answer, and that would make them equally idiotic.

Note. I’ve also wondered if the reason why the L.A. Times’ Bottleneck Blog comments are so rarely updated is because there is NO automobile-based, road-based solution on offer for the economic and environmental problems cause by ever-worsening congestion and ever-rising gas prices, and the automobile-driving editors themselves are in denial about what they are reading.

Either that or they are lazy.

They should build a subway stop in the ocean because I am a crab and I would like to take public transportation.
