CA is also “gasoline taxing” the working & POOR directly without the 2/3 majority votes mandated by its own rules & constitution. But wait.... there’s also taxing the taxes......https://fee.org/articles/californias-soaring-gas-taxes-arent-even-going-to-the-roads/

Don’t forget Federal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_taxes_in_the_United_States

This should be indicative they will never get rid of gasoline & diesel!?

Ethanol (Biofuels) taxation https://www.yahoo.com/news/1-u-epa-proposes-hike-211736649.html
Fake News unfortunately. 59% of gas taxes in California go to highway maintenance and public transit.
That begs the question of why any gas taxes are used for public transit. In NY 80% of gas taxes are used for non highway purposes like bike paths and turning interstate ramps into parks. Almost like motorists are a piggy bank for every interest with a hand out.

I know in CA, particularly in the San Diego area, they are starting to scrap long-promised highway improvements (additional lanes) for other pet projects, like mass transit and bike paths.

The problem is they are scrapping improvements promised like 10 years ago for money the voters approved based on those promises. So do they think Voters don't care if promises turn out to be lies? The gist of the argument seems to be that added lanes don't help because if you build it, they will come (as in more cars).
I find that argument to be a bunch of hogwash,but that's me.

ruking1 · May 2019

CA state, counties, regional governmental entities, local cities, have routinely demonstrated time & time again that legally binding promises & voter assurances are made to be broken.

A store that specializes in selling "eggs"?

Just a little, evidently, misplaced humor.

My son came over last night to watch the last Game of Thrones in the home theater. We both are fans and both agreed, this last season was the worst. It’s like they had a lot of money to make this season and didn’t quite know what to do with it.

Just last night there were characters who showed up that I had forgotten about for years. It took one main character and upteen episodes to convince the real hero how his lover (aunt) had turned bad. The last season’s episodes there were more scenes of wistful staring into space in a thoughtful pose, then there was any dialog that was meaningful to the story.

Loved the show, so I won’t damn it for one bad season. But, it was arguably the most important season, and the grand finale.

Soapbox evacuated!

Don't worry, there are innumerable spin-offs of this stuff in the works.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case, it is not a "bunch of hogwash". Scientific studies have shown that to be true. You add more lanes to the freeway, it doesn't take long (a year or two) for the traffic to increase to the point where you have the same gridlock as before.

I say "unfortunately" because I don't like this any more than you do. But just because I don't like it does not make it "hogwash".

The real problem here is that diverting the money to mass transit has not (for the most part) been of any real help with the situation. We need better answers. I don't have those "better answers", but someone really really needs to come up with some new ideas.

They can always hire me to do the job and I'll do it for half of what they pay the real so-called experts to do it. And on top of that, when my advice turns out to be just as bad as the other guys, they can always say we're no worse off than before but this time we saved money when we went with the last research outfit. Honest, they can call me any name they want as long as I don't have to refund any money for a bad guess.

Well, that theory has been bandied about by urbanists for some time now, but it is not necessarily true and many are starting to question it. Traffic is fluid; if you make the pipe bigger, you get more flow in it. If it is interconnected to other pipes upstream those get less pressure. Eventually things balance out, but you only get more water if you add other sources. That is where the theory falls on its face. In a growing area, it is not the roads that create more traffic, it is the population/housing/job growth. Planning depts allow the areas served by those bigger roads to have more growth, so of course you eventually fill the big pipe up again. If the theory was true, we would have nothing but 2-lane roads with little traffic.

Planning theories work well when you have high populations crammed into tight urban spaces. like in NYC. In typical spread-out cities where people live, work and shop in lots of different spots, not so much. That is why most planners hate sprawl, because they have nothing to deal with it that fits their model.

I’m absolutely sure the cut & paste ANY state, counties, regional government entities, local cities, etc., are TRUE! I just only follow mine for former “professional reasons”.

So the good news in the case of my involvement getting $1.75 B for “local” traffic improvements were NON diversion of funds. The bad news are very high percentages of dollars were used for “paperwork/s “.

fintail · May 2019

Yep that's how it works here, an area with insane and ceaseless population growth. A road is expanded, so palms-greasing property developers put up cardboard 'n plywood tract house orchards along it, and boom! traffic is worse than before the road was improved.

And indeed, it isn't just CA that fails when it comes to public sector oversight. Heck, in WA, people vote down projects (publicly subsidized arenas to aid the ego-boosting toys of undertaxed untouchable zillionaires), and they get the green light anyway.

stickguy · May 2019

New roads or extra lanes don’t create more traffic. They just divert it from elsewhere. When highways crawl, people try to find local street alternatives. Open up highway capacity so it’s quicker, and people would rather take that. Even building new houses by the new road. Those people would have had to be someplace else instead.

stickguy · May 2019

Simple answer. Everybody works from home, so no traffic! Bonus to that, you never have to put pants on!

There are fair percentages where it’s pure & utter hogwash!

For example, so called “commute” (freeway) lanes were voter approved “ regionally”. Some time soon after completion, one commute lane suddenly got/are getting converted into $$’s TOLL LANES. So what used to be ONE commute lane are turning into 2 $$’s TOLL lanes, each way !🤑🚽 Some would argue that was the hidden intention ALL along. Now it does need to be said that if one is indeed a car pool commuter, one can apply for a signaling device. But there always have been very high percentage of “ turnstile jumping” if you will. Conservative estimates are 40%. TOW lanes will probably bring another 40%+ category.

Actually, most planners LOVE “sprawl”. The sprawls that most love are VERTICAL. Most of NYC are prime examples, albeit “OLD”. While I love NYC, unless moved there by Fortune 500’s, etc,. I would not want to live there. I’ve been a NY state & Wash DC area (MD) resident, so it’s not a pie in the sky perspective for me.

So one answer is pretty easy: a NY Congressman, NY politician gave the red light to 25,000 + plus jobs @ $175,000 per job in one small city (Queens, NY.)😉😱 Does anyone wonder what messages that sends?

One consequence the area will not experience are the monies multiplier effects. (8 to 1, $35 B to $4.375 B per year)

They are building condo complexes now in NYC to entice families to stay there rather than flee to the 'burbs--with a rooftop garden, underground parking, privacy elevators and interior courtyard--even a Target store nearby. The downside? 4 million to buy in.

Oh yes, be the first in line with $800,000 down & $3,200,000 4% loan. 🤑😜 $18,800 mo?👀😉 so if the .03% can hardly get in...(the 99.97% are excluded)

I was in NYC this weekend. That 24 hours continued my long standing tradition of having no desire to live in NYC, even though I was born there. But, I Escaped from New York.

It was a nice time, the city, other than the mind numbing traffic through the Holland Tunnel and up/down the West Side Drive, quite hospitable. Somewhat Boston-like in that respect!

I lived in NYC (Queens) for the first 22 years of my life. I commuted to and attended Stuyvesant High School on the lower East Side (Manhattan) for 3 years and then commuted to NYU in the Village (Washington Square) for 4 years. I never had any anxiety about taking the subway into Manhattan - NYC was an exciting and vibrant community with great stores, outstanding theatre and concerts and terrific restaurants. I do miss much of that living down here in God’s waiting room.

Things change - if I was living in NYC today, I would do everything I could to get out of there. The same for Chicago where I lived for 22 years. Big cities have become unmanageable and heavily taxed for its inhabitants.

I still have wonderful memories of my life in NYC and the Chicago area. But I just could not live in those big cities if I had to do it again given today’s socioeconomic climate and the dangers that exist there.

berri · May 2019

Many have a love/hate relationship toward NYC. I admit that I happen to like the place. Regardless, the city is considered important enough that many, many US and foreign corporations maintain some sort of presence there.

My most vivid memory of NYC is seeing an armed robbery.
Plenty of more enjoyable experiences, overall.

My father also grew up in Queens, Forest Hills. He commuted to the High School of Performing Arts, but went to college in MA. He loved NYC, I think if he had his druthers he'd still live there. But, when a career choice came to move the young family to CA, he decided the East Coast was better, and that he didn't want to raise a family in the city.
One of his favorite stories was that a couple of years after moving out on Manhattan, he asked (a very young!) me, did I miss the city? My reply, according to him was, "No, there's a lot less broken glass here." That made him believe he made the correct choice!

Small world, one of my "favorite" memories was exiting Grand Central, stepping into the sunlight with my friends and noticing a very large circular crowd outside the station. We made our way to see what was going on, probably a street performer. Nope, two gentleman having a knife fight. One of us said, "Cool! Let's stay and watch!" Nope, I replied. Eventually one of them may win and then notice the closed circle of witnesses and decide to cut his way out...

When I was at the auto show a few weeks ago I saw plenty of fancy cars flying down the street in front of the Javits Center. They rev them up then shut them down between traffic lights. I’d cry if I had to drive an expensive sports car like that.

That is brilliant because it is true! I would say a real New Yorker would think living anywhere else would be like living in hell. New Yorkers need the excitement of their city....it is probably like a drug;

btw....they said on the news last night that they are trying to pass a law in NYC that you could be fined if distracted while walking on a street, phone, text, google etc, accident rates for pedestrians is at an all time high....another reason not to want to drive there!

qbrozen · May 2019

NYC is the worst place my senses have ever had to tolerate to date. I got a little more used to it last summer when I commuted in a dozen times or so, but still hated every minute.

I would imagine it is the same experience for most high-reactive people.

tjc78 · May 2019

Lots of "if's" here... but if my wife and I both worked in NYC and we didn't have kids there is no doubt that is where we would live.

We both are very much "city" folk. She was born in Brooklyn and my whole family is from South Philadelphia.

She is a NYC girl at heart, but is really enjoying working in CC Philly. I'm a little jealous of that as the office I work in is in the middle of nowhere (well... as much as you can be in Camden County NJ)

laurasdada · May 2019

I enjoyed visiting NYC, about an hour MetroNorth train ride. But, I enjoyed even more the ride home! I'm a suburb kid at heart. Although, throughout my ski life, really a Vermont kid at heart. But, yes, I'm a flatlander...

Boston, on the other hand, I could live in Boston.

stickguy · May 2019

I do like Boston for some reason. Just hard to find a 2 car garage downtown! Though I guess if we moved to the real city part of the city, could go down to 1 car.

a smaller city/big town would be more our speed. Charleston was a nice size with different neighborhood options. Something like that. Maybe a Nashville, or Raleigh.

fintail · May 2019

NYC = cool to visit, don't think I'd want to live there. The traffic alone would do it, not to mention the expense. Living in a place often ranked at the 5th-10th worst traffic in the country, this is more than enough. I think I'd be fine in a smaller city maybe even the size of Spokane or similar - but then the jobs issue creeps up.

graphicguy · May 2019

Ya know, I get to visit lots of places for work. I actually lived in the Bay Area for a few years for work. California was supposed to be the most idyllic place to live, according to all the songs written, all the attention given, The Beach Boys, The Eagles......

It was one long slog, every day on the 101. Even back then, working for Xerox in Palo Alto, making decent money, my budget hinged upon probably a weekly $20 margin of error. Gas prices went up? I was screwed. Landlord raised the rent? I was screwed.

My friends who worked in and around NYC at that same time had the same complaints, and they didn’t even own a car.

It’s not that I don’t like those areas. I just remember the day to day struggle more than I do the city.

Moving back to the Mid-West, all of a sudden life became easier, much easier. Now, I don’t mind visiting the east coast and west coast, I just know when I get home, I can buy a new car whenever I want, going out for a nice dinner, taking nice vacations, etc without worrying about being evicted.

God Bless all of you who live in those areas and have stuck it out. You’ve seen your real estate appreciate to the point you could always sell and live in the Mid-West and be quite comfortable.

ab348 · May 2019

When I visited Seattle in 2004 even though the traffic was not good even then, it was the first large US city I had visited that I thought I could live in. With the changes there since that probably isn't true any longer. Boston would have been #2 but I didn't get quite the same good feeling about it. Others like NYC, Detroit in the '80s/'90s and Chicago gave me almost an allergic reaction, so no go there. Milwaukee in the late '90s left me underwhelmed, and Minneapolis wasn't so bad but I don't think would be able to handle the cold there now. I spent some time in DC as a tourist and it was good for that but I don't think living there would work for me. Not in the same size class at all, but I really liked Boise when I was there.

In 1978 I was conducting a 2 and a half day seminar in NYC at the St. Regis Hotel. As I was at the check in desk, two guys came tumbling down the stairs and landed literally at my feet, continuing to scuffle. A hotel security guard had caught this guy snooping around up stairs. He had the guys tie wrapped around his neck to subdue him and the guy was saying something like, "Hey bro, give me a break". Those of you who know NYC know that the St. Regis is not some flea bag hotel. That is my most vivid memory of NYC. Hard to believe that was 40 years ago !

Mr_Shiftright · May 2019

It's not an easy place to live day to day, but if you find your little "groove" within it, it's quite survivable. If you don't, it'll grind you down.

roadburner · May 2019

The company my son works for in NC lets him fly into NYC on Thursday afternoon and work out of their home office on Friday so he visits friends who live there several times a year.
