Hispanics drive. Soccer moms drive. Women drive. Gays drive. Unions drive. Hollywood drives. Silicon Valley drives.
The Democrats in California are EXTREMELY vulnerable on this issue. The legislation that they are trying to pass will ration or ban many cars and/or much driving in California.
You're right. 100% right. Only 5% of the people in California use public transportation (and I'll bet that over HALF of those are college students!!!!) ... and yet over 30% of our transportation dollars are spent on mass transit boondoggles!
I agree that roads, transportation, etc can be a major issue and I hope that Davis signs that evil bill AB1058 so that people will yell and scream, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
However, I think he'll veto is because car dealers have more money than enviro-wackos.
