If so, the only way to uphold rights is to fight: refusing to enter passwords, demanding warrants for searches, challenging seizure in court... Buying a burner and many of the other options in the NYT article strike me as GIVING IN, even if they do have the immediate desired effect.

I wonder if LA buses are free yet. The Santa Monica Big Blue Bus was close to free and packed. That would shift the calculus for some (maybe just poor grad students LOL). What LA really needs is a Paris-style métro.

If you live near LAX and work at daycare in Beverly Hills, driving sucks, but at least you can leave at 6am and be home at a decent hour. It'll take months if not years for the buses to scale up in a way that makes it even plausible to substitute.

I’d love to see a congestion charge in LA (the only US city I know well enough to comment on other than the Bay Area), but this would hit the working poor/middle class who have kids most heavily (financially).
