First o...Don - There's another issue at work here. First of all, I live and work in Riverside, and have been a planner for the county for over 20 years. The creation of a new route to South OC will only serve to perpetuate the "Jobs in OC, Homes in Rivco" mentality that is driving this insane commuting mentality. What needs to be done is for the businesses that rely heavily on workers from the IE to open either satellite offices here, or allow for telecommuting. In this day, there is no reason for everyone to show up to the office each and every day. <BR/>It's not so much the "Selfish rich NIMBYs" that are driving this as it is the super-rich business owners who insist on having their offices near the beach at the expense of having their labor pool commute in from the IE because they can't afford the outrageous housing prices in OC. <BR/>Therefore, the tunnel under the Santa Ana Mountains, or for that matter, any other improvement, is stupid and will only serve the greedy developers, almost all of whom are based in LA and Orange Counties. I know - I've worked with them!Rivcokidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10540981472618246142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12920540.post-1145765903668770092006-04-22T21:18:00.000-07:002006-04-22T21:18:00.000-07:00Must be a Laguna-ite.Must be a Laguna-ite.Stevestrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07758310274896664555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12920540.post-1145594979844953372006-04-20T21:49:00.000-07:002006-04-20T21:49:00.000-07:00Don,Can't you leave people alone? You are a Hitle...Don,<BR/><BR/>Can't you leave people alone? You are a Hitler. Always wanting to bulldoze others' property for your silly freeways. Just double deck the damn thing and be done with it. Jesus, you just have to get your grubby chunky fingers all over things. Why don't you just go to your desert highway and think about what a loser you are in life? What did you amount to anyway? Have you created anything of value? Have you just annoyed people until they wanted to kick your ass?<BR/><BR/>You look like a haggard nerd lost in a world of obscure and discarded refuse. You may be book smart, but when it comes to the other intelligences of the human mind, you are bankrupt. Interfering with other people's lives in a destructive way seems to be a common thread to your life. You need counseling. Try Arkham Asylum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
