all interstates should be privatized and federal gas tax eliminated
sell the land and improvements with zero regulatory oversight
let the free market do its magic
I read this article and still don't understand what a "freeway cap" is. A dead end?
complete community offering dense urban housing
When they do that with chickens, they call it animal cruelty.
Libertyis the enemy of the progressives.
It sounds wonderful.
Darn those scurvy peasants!
the Citys plan for eliminating all traffic deaths by 2025, but also their reluctance to take personal responsibility for reducing transportation-related carbon emissions across the region.
A rational country would institutionalize people like this. Theyre dangerous to themselves and others.

Living in a ‘Ratopia is H377 off wheelz.
Which is why they want the airport land so ferociously. There are BILLIONS of $$$ to be made from it, at no risk to the developers other than paying off Democrats, because they’ll be using taxpayer-backed loans.

I had to read that twice because I was sure I missed something....
I’m all for limiting traffic deaths....but only a madman would think zero deaths that’s possible....
Very poorly written article. It gave me a headache.
“When they do that with chickens, they call it animal cruelty.”
So true.
I totally enjoy being a rural, free ranging peep.
The Freeway caps I’ve seen have been really wide bridges over sunken interstates. The one in Dallas has been a huge benefit - to developers.
There are about 10 lanes of expressway under this one

Like it was written for insider readers of The Architects Newspaper only.
IDK, other states have sold roads/turnpikes to Chinese backed companies just like many ports are Mideast country owned. “This land is your land” isn’t at all.
Not really any info in that link.
Used to pass through in 1965 on the way to the Sorrento beach and grill, 45 cent burgers with fries, we cut school for the burgers.
Just past the tunnel on pch, listening to the supremes singing "Love love love don't come easy..."
The left side was empty, just sand and ocean.
This is what you move to LA for. Open spaces, wandering mountain lions, wildlife and natural habitat preservation, go fishing off your front porch, that kind of thing.
Another proposal is still in the works to cap another portion of U.S. Route 101 with an overpass that would allow local mountain lions and other fauna to traverse the highway safely.
Of course the mountain lions and other fauna know to use their new bridge. But begs the question of why you want to encourage mountain lions to be able to access the more urban parts of the city.
Lastly, might this be a moot point given the destruction of 101 in the mudslides.
My parents lived there in the early years of WWII. My oldest brother lived there for a while around the time you mentioned.
