This is just "your papers please" excuses.

Want to bet the political "favorites" and favors and friends will get passes which exempt them from this BS?

The sustainable development is now being morphed into sustainable freedom of movement.

The left thinks our glass is too big.

We take up too much land and screw the farmers. We move to the cities and now we are too congested. We use too much water so we should poop in solar outhouses that stink. We drive too much so we should live in the cities, but then we congest them too much.

Circular logic, endless doodooloop. Those mopes would protect the animals, the forests, and the oceans, but not us.

Never fails.
Politicians elected to represent US actually represent their own political survival and when their major screw ups and neglect come to roost their only solution is to take more or our money.
A Swedish firm a few years ago offered to build a monorail system ALL OVER LA for no money up front. They wanted the reciepts for ten years as payment.
Idiot politicians said no. They also said no to any more roads to alleviate certain congestion.
So we have a few miles of subway in earthquake country at huge cost overruns that serve a very small area.
Everything is taxed and it is still not enough money.
Now they want toll roads. Congestion taxes have been floated.
Their answer is the same everywhere; just take more of our money to cover their failure.
When the pendulum swings the other way soon I hope these people will be as vilified as any businesses they say profited from slavery one hundred fifty years ago.

Do you every contemplate the amount of green gases that would be eliminated, if our nation's highways were upgraded to the point that traffic jams were erradicated.

Instead the planners instigate traffic jams as a way to pry our citizens out of cars.

Imagine if the leaders of the 50s-70s had done the same thing. We wouldn't have any freeways and our economy would have taken a massive hit.

It's time for our leaders to plan for the future, get off their soft hinde-sides and upgrade our transporation for the future. Buses and Trains will NEVER be the sole answer. Neither will negative impacting congestion affectors, the darling of the left, the diamond lane.
