This one has me angry. They've just started building the new Bay
Bridge (between Oakland and San Francisco, for those not familiar
with the area), and the planners voted down any proposal to add
a center lane that would have been a train track. It seems absolute
stupidity to build a *new* bridge and not have a track to enable
mass transit. This isn't 1950. Whoever is responsible for this
decision should be voted out of office and *then* put in a pillory.
Stupidity should be painful (this was the bumper sticker on my car,
before I sold it to move to the UK). (03)
