Is something better than nothing?
I have a piece in today’s LA Daily News:
- WHEN it comes to transportation, Angelinos have plenty to gripe about: the nation's worst traffic congestion, and - with 6 million more people expected to arrive by 2030 - the expectation that those jams will get even worse.
Enter the phony fix of Proposition 1B, the $19.9 billion transportation bond.
A recent Reason Foundation study revealed that it would take $68 billion in roadway-capacity expansion for Los Angeles to vanquish severe congestion by 2030. Next to that figure Proposition 1B's promise of $19.9 billion seems small.
But isn't something better than nothing? Not in this case.
More here.
