  • i feel you’re missing one half of the equation here. So we got 40k people that want to go to dodgers stadium. Where are these 40k people going to come from? The forum? LAX? The rose bowl? No most of these people are going to come from home, and if you don’t have the train by a neighborhood, its more discouraging to take the train than just driving.
    Part of the issue is that LA doesn’t build dense housing as well. The neighborhoods that trainstations stop at should be very dense so you can remove the need to drive places, but LA/US zoning is very bad. Thankfully SB 70 (name may be incorrect) will help with this issue.


  • Yeah idk why you’re upvoted, unless I’m missing something. The articles you linked(could only read the first as the 2nd is behind a paywall) only talk about how much slower NPRs coverage may become due to the backstops. Nothing implies that they have become unreliable news.

    I’m unconvinced that NPR is unreliable based on your info. I listen to their planet money, the 1A, and the indicator broadcasts. The 1A especially has recently been openly and bluntly criticizing the fascists movements of Trump/Republicans. The indicator and planet money are more economics focused (rather than politically focused than 1A ) but even they will criticize Republican actions if it doesn’t align with economic theories.
