#1 Good for them.
First 'food deserts' now 'job ghettos'.
Some people already can't afford the commute.

#3 Every time they have a gas tax increase it's to pay for road and infrastructure projects.

#4 It's always the same con, focused purpose, strict accountability ! And it's always the same accounting tricks and layered up Diversionary tactics. After it passes, other general fund dollars are diverted from transportation projects so the actual net expenditure level on transportation remains the same. My favorite dodge is the "borrowing" from the transportation budget for urgent general fund needs. And note that every penny goes to union contractors after often dubious bidding, and priority goes to LA and SF area projects. As for accountability, try and google the last civil servant prosecuted for malfeasance or graft about transportation issues! Democrat socialism sucks every time it runs things, and it has ruined what was once paradise......
