Gen. Ripper posted:STOP THE POLITICIANS CREATED WATER CRISIS etc. signs LA's mayoral election was recent-ish and I abstained from voting since I couldn't figure out which candidate was Tweedledee. Democrat Eric Garcetti won by a nose, and as such has been punished with the responsibility of managing Los Angeles (by the way, his inauguration is this sunday, in Grand Park. Drop by to catch impressive stars like... Moby and Jimmy Kimmel ). Also, in news that shocks no one, the 405 Sepulveda pass widening project is $75 million over budget and being delayed by a year, confirming prophesies that there will never be a north-south thoroughfare in LA county that isn't a clusterfuck impossible to deal with on any level.

Muck and Mire posted:I think that high speed rail is an absolutely wonderful idea but I'm not sure we can predict what prices and security will be like in 20 years. I think it's possible, unfortunately, that the prices and the security will be comparable to airports. Yeah honestly all it's going to take is one knucklehead with a bomb glued to his junk for the TSA or whatever to make sure you never board a train without 90 minutes of lines in the way. Plus you can virtually guarantee that some no-bid contractor is going to end up millions over budget and months behind schedule after accidentally building 1/4 of the line out of plywood. I really want rail to work, but California.
