The politicians have it backwards. They keep building more freeways and
improving the older ones to carry more traffic further. That is the
problem. In fact the first freeway started the problem. If a freeway had
never been built commuting would be limited in distance or confined to
mass transit options. Industry and population centers would spread out
and community sizes would decrease. Both quality of air and life would
be better. And so would LBC driving.
A vote against freeway funding will shift attention to other solutions
and the auto will be diminished as a source of polution.
