LAPD will use this to justify more police spending
post
Interestingly, not a video about police brutality, but about known unsafe roads.
Carbrain is strong, but they're still trying to invest some in public trans. Unfortunately, I saw recently they've been pushing a public Uber alternative as a sort of last step after using a train, which I can't imagine helps.
I kind of understand why-- LA is very spread out. I was told or was because of earthquakes that we couldn't build high but that doesn't seem to be true anymore.
If it's any consolation, we haven't taken the "one more lane" thing too far, there aren't 12 lane freeway monstrosities at least.
The car dealers lobby group is a huge part of this. Note, I said car dealers, not car manufacturers.
They pay off the politicians and the politicians use the people's money for these lawsuits. They are the reason why public transportation is horrendous in LA. The people suffer twice.
They were also the ones trying to stop Tesla from selling directly from the Tesla website for obvious reasons.
Good info, but why is this a video instead of an article?
I love a good article, but sometimes the visualization is the easiest way to quickly show something to make a point for someone otherwise unfamiliar. I'm actually going to include this in an index for a presentation I'm going to do at my local city transportation and safety committee to show that the problem isn't unique and there are choices to be made. If I go to try to make a change and provide a bunch of teams of paper, that makes a different impact.
There's a reason propagandists generally use photos video(since film has existed): it can multiply the impact and in some cases make an impact and reach people who would ignore written content.
