Road To Hell? Road IS Hell!

Ray Haynes knows that Californians are all too familiar with Good Intentions And The Roads They Make.
Freeways, no matter how many are built, will always be crowded at rush hour. In the 1970s, Jerry Brown and his environut friends used this fact to convince people that California should spend its gasoline tax money on mass transit. These same people argued that good government land use planning would also “create jobs close to homes” and “protect” our air and water and other natural resources. These concepts all intended to accomplish good things, and sounded good on paper. While good intentioned, however, they have literally paved the roads to hell we now all occupy twenty four hours a day.
