I come from Southern California. We have a lot of cars down there and not much in the way of alternative transit options. Driving is a nightmare, as the streets are overloaded. Living in Washington has been a vast improvement for me: The subways and Amtrak take me where my car has trouble going, and I use my car for the errands and travels that suit its strengths. And as long as my tax dollars are going to subsidize transportation networks, I’d like them to subsidize a sensible transportation network such as Washington’s, not the endless traffic that I escaped when I moved away from Los Angeles.Note that Mr Klein passes on the opportunity to use the California road network as an illustration of the failure of control-freak technocratic tendencies.
The argument, if anybody cares: You propose to tell me what sort of car I may drive, and what fuel I shall put in it, and yet you cannot properly time the traffic lights.

SoCal has hundreds of miles of commuter trains and thousands of miles of public transport buses.
It was Klain's choice not to use them.
Actions soeak louder then leftist talking points
On the other hand, Chicago has hundreds of miles of commuter trains, as well as some hundred miles of crowded "expressways."
People ride the scoots for the convenience, or to avoid the downtown parking charges. Those choices have little to do with party affiliation.
