If you don't understand this city, this county, and its people, stop telling me how wonderful it was that LA passed Measure M.
Additionally, this measure taxes everyone, but not everyone benefits: communities of color are 1) getting pushed out by metro and/or @nvll

2) lives in communities that rely on buses -- which are not a priority for the MTA and corporate construction companies.
@nvll -
The MTA is a known civil rights violator. We can't expect it to write equitable policy proposals.
@nvll -
The big constructions companies, like Aecom like Parsons, win by taxing communities of color who will never see the benefits.
@nvll -
The tax is also permanent. This is going to be a forever kind of injustice....
@nvll -
Succinct and sad. I get it now, thank you.
