        Housing prices rising MUCH FASTER than wages. Do the math.

        Other than taking a hard look at wages and housing costs and cost of living, we should get good national public transportation. That would help unclog roads and give people a viable, affordable travel method.

        After four years of a one hour one way commute and four more years of a one hour round trip commute, I am so very thankful every single day for my current commute: 10 minutes one way by bike.

        The rise of the mega city and more urban sprawl has already been shown to put more strain on already dwindling food resources, cause higher housing costs, increase rates of respiratory illness due to emissions pollution, & increase carbons emissions while creating heat islands.

        Of course people stuck in traffic aren’t alone. If they were alone, there wouldn’t be any traffic. 😉

        Suspend liberalism. Build more roads. Build more parking lots. Widen existing roads. Use all gas taxes for roads and not for lib projects.

        It's a misery. Would live closer to work or public transportation if housing in LA wasn't prohibitively expensive.
