some thoughts on mass transit in Los Angeles
was talking with some local reps about mass transit in Los Angeles….. thought you guys might find this interesting.
best jason
From my reading and understanding we are dealing with a supply and demand issue. As such there are two basic functions to change traffic: increase supply or reduce demand. The best ideas for this seem to be:
1. REDUCING DEMAND with congestion pricing: London has had solid success with this by charging about $12 to drive into the most congested part of the city during the busiest times. Of course, London has a brilliant mass transit system and Los Angeles does not, so implementing this system would take some work. A charge of $5-10 to cross the 405 and 10 during rush hour (say, 4pm-6:30pm) would certainly incentivize people to shift their driving patterns. this could be done with wireless devices such as Easypass (in the northeast). You head north on the 405 in rush hour and you're charged at the on ramp automatically. you don't need to have life attendants. someone gets on during rush hour without easypass they get a ticket.
2. INCREASING SUPPLY: Finish the west side subway/RED line (attached image) ASAP! This is obvious, and i can tell you my company (which is at 11th and Colorado in Santa Monica) contributes at least two dozen cars to rush hour. This subway would eliminate almost all of them as the young folks working for us would much rather save money and time by taking the train. even if it was the same amount of time, they would take the train to read and save money.
3. OTHER: We should make the bus and subway free. Period. Usage would jump if it was free (or a token amount, like a quarter). We should simply increase the tax on cars based on millage (perhaps tax only cars that are below 20mpg?) and shift the money to the bus and train budgets. This would also have serious economic benefit according to many: http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/02/17/should-mass-transit-be-made-free-to-stimulate-the-u-s-economy/

VIDEO: Sinead O'Connor circa 1992, A brave visionary.
When I was 21 I watched this video live on SNL and it hit me deeply. As someone who grew up Catholic I knew exactly what she was talking about when she discussed child abuse, war and then ripped up a picture of the pope and said "fight the real enemy,"
It's well worth watching this almost two decade old video today and thinking about the decades of suffering and coverups by the Pope and Church in the systemic raping of thousands of children.
They would not play her on the radio and when I went to the Bob Dylan 30th anniversary concert at MSG with my pal Charlie they booed her off stage. These were BOB DYLAN fans that booed her off stage… sickening.
On top of raping children and covering it up for decades, the Popes we were taught to blindly follow over the last couple of decades were also:
1. anti-gay in the age of Mathew Sheppard (for those of you under the age of 30 read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard )
2. anti-condom and safe sex in the age of AIDS http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/oct/09/aids
3. anti-women in the age of…. well…. ummm… basic human rights? http://jc.is/bsi9hY Hopefully 100 years from now history will remember the brave little girl who stood up, and was taken down, for doing the right thing. Love you Sinead.
