Better to build a rapid transit system than a wall across 2 thousand miles on our southern border.

Fed funds vs. st. funds and you're too stupid to know the difference....sad
But, thank you for exposing it for all to see.

With a stroke of his pen, California Governor Gavin Newsom has redirected part of the money you pay at the pump with the state’s gas tax to the railway system and other projects.
Assemblyman Patterson says, “One of the very first things Governor Newsom decides to do, is put forward an executive order and his people at Caltrans have decided they are going to terminate addition north and south freeway lanes on Highway 99 in Tulare and Madera County. I’m almost speechless with response to this.”
Assemblyman Patterson says, “When you pay for gas and you pay a gas tax, a railroad is not a highway. This is bait and switch. This is saying one thing and doing something else. I just think all who represent California both Democrats and Republicans have better step up and stand up and say Mr. Governor you can’t do this.”

Their highway system is overburdened and air pollution has always been a problem. For one of our largest cities, their mass transit is almost nonexistent. Using gas tax to improve mass transit is a wise choice

Maybe they need more carpool lanes. Democrats love those because they make traffic worse.

California is ranked 2 on state tax per gallon of gas at 55.5 cents. Thats mind boggling expensive. They should have the best highways in the universe with that type of tax.

Not when you have the government it has.

WTF, you feel building a transit system for a small percentage of the population is better than a wall that will protect many in the country? You fricken libs don't have a dam clue...idiot.

Explain your first sentence, your claim is a lie; why did you make this claim?

For the record I managed Federal Grants (DOJ - VAWA) which was funded by local, state and federal funds.

I agree we need more mass transit....Californians love their cars, they need to get out of their comfort zone a bit. I bike, scooter and I hardly use mu car.

They'd surely think differently, if they had real jobs, like mine, where one may have to commute up to eighty miles between home and a construction site, carrying more than a hundred pounds of tools.

Most of those who commute by public transit work in offices and the only tools they carry are a cell phone and maybe a lap top.

Commuters to SF & Santa Clara Co. come from all of the nine Bay Area Counties and surrounding counties which do not touch the bays. Heavy rail, light rail and Bart along with buses and ferry boats prevent someone like you from greater gridlock.

Forced segregation pushed many proud Americans out if these cities. Where this is all festering with illegals.. millions of them

It's outright fraud.

California had been collecting higher taxes on motor fuels than other states, for quite some time, supposedly to maintain the highways, and then fraudulently redirecting that money to other uses. With not enough of that money going to maintain our roads, they raised the taxes a few years ago, with the purpose of those taxes being explicitly stated as being for road maintenance. And they lied, in order to get a ballot proposition defeated to undo that last increase in taxes, and, in fact, to authorize them to raise these taxes again according to their whims, which they very recently did.

And now these new funds are falling to the exact same waste and fraud and misappropriation that the previous funds fell to.

Governor Newsom, and any legislators who are complicit in this fraud, need to be removed from office, criminally prosecuted,and locked up in prison for a very, very long time. Alas, it almost certain won't happen; they'll be allowed to get away with it this time, and the next time, and the next time after that, and so on.

Those gas taxes are for general transportation issues, not just automotive

LA sold out to auto transit in the 1950s. They had a working trolly system that was effective in allowing commuters to get around the city. Corrupt politicians sold off the trolly lines and tore them up.
The highway system has never been able to handle the traffic loads

I read the oil companies bought them all..or was it a you tube video?

I fly from Carson City to Buchanan Field in Concord, then take BART into the city. Most of the time it's fine, but those times when there is a problem. It's a PROBLEM. There are few bail out points and I was stuck on a train for three hours once.

The Paris Metro is the best in the world. From any point in Paris to any other point in 35 minutes.

BART covers one third the distance and takes three times as long.

The major arteries are gridlocked at all hours. I remember trying to drive to LAX at 4:30 in the morning and still hitting traffic.

Yes, transportation infrastructure has value. It helps the economy and allows for an efficient flow of goods and services

The wall is a monument to hate and fear and provides no economic value

Bottom line is that Californians are not going to switch over to mass transit, it been tried and it's failed. They like their vehicles.

Californians live in SF and they take BART, even the Cable Cars

If the transit system is well planned out and accessible, it will be used
