Again, I have no bitch about LA wanting to clean up its own air — but no one has a gun to their head to live there (Mexico City either), so unless their bluejean millionaires from the entertainment industry — the ones who want to get rid of dams because they want to canoe down the “lost” canyons — want to spring for the means, they’re free to move somewhere else.
I agree with you that the cost drivers should be the bill payers - no subsidies.
