The car and oil companies love guys like you - they don't have to advertise to you to justify more subsidies for their industries. I like how you refer to surfers as "unemployed", and yet several HUGE multi-billion dollar-a-year surf corporations spent millions to fight this toll road. "No-growth"? How about "No More Crap Highways Ruining Our Country"? LOL OC Driver, you are funny example of the 1930′s living on inside the mind of a dumb suburbanite.

“No-growth”? How about “No More Crap Highways Ruining Our Country”?

They photo-shopped an interchange over the land, and it's not even where the 241 would connect with I-5. the connection is at Basilone Road on Camp Pendleton, a half mile from the beach. Outside experts and even Surfing Magazine said the road would have no impact on the surf. The surfer types were pawns for no-growthers, many from far outside Orange County and San Diego County. I wish the LA Times or OC Register would do an investigative piece on where the money came from to pay for the anti-road propaganda campaign, which included four-color ads in newspapers, paid advertising on newspaper Web sites, pay-per-click advertising placements, streaming video on their Web sites (major production expenses), bussing the unemployed to create the circus at Coastal Commission, papering the coastal communities with fliers, etc. BIG bucks. Why and from where? Disgusting that the no-growth luddites and unemployed surfers can selfishly screw up commuting for millions and millions of employed and moms and kids and truckers and visitors.
