=========================================
On another topic, I just returned from three weeks in Europe. Urban
mass transit is not perfect, but considerably superior to ours.
Europe is, in effect, one large city. So, comparison with California
is inappropriate. However, comparing the Bay Area and regions east,
or the LA Basin and regions east, are far more appropriate.

European mass transit is highly networked, heavily multi-modal and
often redundant. Not only heavy and high speed rail, but electric as
well as diesel buses with many bus-only lanes on the streets, trolley
and other light rail, subway, and shuttles or vans. Airports are
usually rail connected. Bicycles everywhere and lots of them.
Strollers on wide entry buses with floor space to park them.

European governments subsidize their transit system, people pay
higher taxes, and everybody benefits. Our Wild West, anti-tax,
go-it-alone mentality works against us; so our infrastructure
continues to erode and our economic power with it.
