Cars play an important role. They’ve also allow us to strangle environment with unsustainable sprawl land use patterns - low-density sprawling development leading to massive carbon emissions (40% of CA carbon emissions are from transportation), long commutes, gridlock, etc.

Cars are heavily subsidized & don’t pay their way in terms of cost of building/maintaining streets, freeways, bridges. Federal/state gas taxes declined by almost 50% in real dollars over 25 yrs b/c no increase even for inflation. Schwarzenegger slashed vehicle license fee by 2/3

Politicians are not injected with intelligence silly. This is called an appeal to authority. The data I post is from CA's govt websites. Note how those who disagree do not state any numbers? That's telling.

that's because the main website that does analysis on this stuff, @LAO_CA is down for maintenance until tomorrow. We'll go look at the numbers then and come back to you. I hope @LAO_CA is delighted that people want to use its website on Christmas Eve though!
