- Of course the main reason that there is no impact is that no one can
- go anywhere in LA anyway. The freeways are a parking lot. The trains
- are non-existant etc.
-
- I go out to go somewhere besides the two blocks to the local store
- and at almost any time of the day the freeway traffic is moving quite
- slowly.
-
- Give me a good public transportation system any day over the freeways
- of LA. I have lived here a long time and seen many billions of dollars
- spent on freeways and seen the traffic problems almost monotonically
- getting worse.
