The kooks are also trying to take away one of three lanes from El Camino Real from San Mateo to San Jose and make it a fully dedicated bus lane — all part of the “We know what’s best for you” elitist attitude to get you out of your car and onto a bicycle, carpool, bus, or train. These people are absolutely insane and they infect every level of government.
I know about the effort, though I'm not deeply familiar with it. The region has similar efforts, such as in Oakland. I understand that there has been opposition from businesses along the route, since this plan sacrifices much parking. Of course, the plans have been approved. (Parking is bad!!!!! Yes, people actually believe that.)

Depending on the person, I might use words other than "insane"; at least to me, "insanity" suggests an "insanity defense" and a possible mitigation of culpability.
