It should surprise no bros that Southern California still wants to add one more lane to fix traffic.

Linton notes that the agencies purposely divided the 405 expansion into segments under one mile to qualify as ‘auxiliary lanes’ that are not subject to a full environmental review.

Wow. Just.. wow. The amount of cronyism and nepotism involved in making this very poor decision must be incalculable. Our political leaders should be required to use public transit as long as they collect paychecks from the taxpayers that seem to loathe so much.
