In reply to Rex the Wonder Dog!. More taxes what about all the taxes from gasoline sales. We don't need any more taxes until we get an exact accounting of where all the gasoline taxes are going

It seems to only be getting worse as the education level of our population declines!

That time is long past, nearly 3 out of 4 public school graduates can not read, write or do basic mathematics past a 4th grade level.

The Irony is we are Depending on them to PAY for all the DEBT we hung around their necks to pay for our wants today.
It will not end well

The only thing certain is that spending, taxes and debt will increase and the taxpayers and future generations will take it in the shorts and the special interests will make out like bandits.

The demac-RATS will just come up with another stupid tax to law on the consumers like dime soda tax or quarter hamburger tax

The problem is not enough revenue. We need, no, we MUST HAVE, a higher sales taxes and a higher income tax for the top 10%, say a 15% income tax on the highest earners.

That will solve ALL our problems 🙂 Trust me!

In reply to Ronald. Not to worry. 40 million of the 44 million vehicles will be bicycles for the poor and the other 4 million will be subsidized electric vehicles for the rich people on the coast driving in HOV lanes.

In reply to Richard Rider. Mr. Rider, I agree with your assessment. I can attest to it because I was a (forced) SEIU member in SD County for years. They stole union dues from me that they were not entitled to and I was harassed the entire time by the union rep because I butted heads with lazy and unprofessional union workers. It was a very stressful time. What can be done?! The liberal voters in CA have proven that they are not intelligent enough to understand basic economics and constantly pass bond measures that shoot themselves in the foot and allow continual tax increases to cover the underfunded pensions, such as CalPers. It seems to only be getting worse as the education level of our population declines!

Read awhile back that Paris, France has severely limited development of parking for vehicles to limit cars within this tangled frustrating city.

Forget about roads as such doomers…….action is in Uber rickshaws!

California’s projected growth in population from a current 38 million citizens to 50 million by 2050, and growth in vehicle registrations from a current 30 million to 44 million by 2050, will put much more stress upon all the underfunded infrastructures that are supporting our lifestyle and economy. The upcoming Infrastructure Report Card update from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), currently scheduled for release in early 2016 will highlight many of the deficiencies of the various California infrastructures that will be the basis of numerous press articles and TV coverage every time a failure impacts the citizens and economy of California.
