we can spend a billion dollars on adding a new lane that won't fix congestion but we can't spend a million dollars on making it safe to walk outside, to improve public transportation, or to build bike lanes, all of which are cheaper than roads.
Project to add a lane, making a safer 5 Freeway between 405 and 55, gets underway
The $715 million project will be funded by Measure M, the half-cent sales tax collected in Orange County for transportation projects, and state and federal contributions.

This did not start with ICE or Trump, as always with Trump/MAGA its just a more blatant & egregious version of something that's been wrong in America for a very long time, and we have not had political leaders able to step up and meet the moment for all of that time
