I am posting beautiful architect sketches of the LA subway stations that would have been built in the 1990s. First one is in today's post with an article about how Measure R combined with Obama's stimulus package positions LA to receive federal money soon.

Metro budget meeting. I still feel that the success of Measure R, which has yet to even start to prove itself, is partially to blame. An irony, to be sure. (And I realise the State Transit Assistance Fund is a statewide benefit, but I believe a sizable portion makes it way to Los Angeles.) Roger Snoble's unexpected retirement implies more trouble ahead as well. This frightening development occurred back on 06 November 208, and was quickly mentioned during the 20 Nov.

Gas is under $2/gallon. Guffaw! Who needs mass transit anymore?!?! This is pretty much a trend in Sacramento. It seems transit funds are being raided all the time. This is after there was such a huge boost in mass transit usage last year. The people have spoken directly and indirectly that they want more mass transit funding, and yet the politicians are out of touch. I just don't understand it. I think that politicians that oppose highway expansion and embrace transit funding will do better the next time an election rolls around. Call me crazy but I kind of believe that! Mass transit?
