"The Bay Area gets a new bridge. And the Bay Area's Lefties will cough up the user fees on their commute. A win win for fiscal sanity."
Perhaps so. But I am one Bay Area "Righty" who will also have to cough up more money on MY commute!! I don't like it at all. They should have stuck with Ah-nold's plain causeway design (cheaper), and to heck with what the loons in SF thought. If the people in SF want to have another "beautiful" bridge to look at, why do I need to pay for it?!?! Since the animals in SF were so adament about having the more expensive "beautiful" bridge, THEY should have been made to pay the extra money for it.
