Thanks, Andrew.

If you like the ideas and think they'd be worth trying (they're a lot cheaper and more realistic than a subway system or monorail at this point), then please tell others about my blog. The only way to bring about change is to have enough people pressure enough politicians into making that change.

Politicians are not as "creative" as they'd like to portray themselves. I think this mayor Villarraigosa got elected partly because he promised to solve L.A.'s traffic woes. He was on the cover of the L.A. Weekly with a picture taken at a Metro station with a train in the background (The Subway Mayor: How a bus-only politician — and a car-obsessed city — are learning to love the underground - By ERIC BERKOWITZ, L.A. Weekly,Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 12:00 am).

Meaning what? That THAT is his solution?

Typical. There is SO MUCH that can be done WITHOUT spending billions and WITHOUT performing "major surgery" on the city (Building a subway or a monorail in L.A. at this point would be like performing triple by-pass surgery on a 400-pound man. The city would be in the hospital for quite awhile! And it'll cost a pretty penny, too!). Driving around L.A. in that traffic mess you can only wonder: "whatever happened to American Ingenuity, Creativity and Resourcefulness? Is this really the nation that put a man on the moon?"

My ideas are all about putting "Ingenuity, Creativity and Resourcefulness" back into "American."
