Are they even building new freeways? Where do they find the room?
Widening I-5 most of the way through the county right now. Planning more stuff out east in the more-or-less empty desert, so the developers can throw up more sprawlvilles.
Rubber tires good! Steel wheels bad!
Too many people on this planet, and with your world class climate in SD County, all of them seem to want to live there.
I read [The Population Bomb] in the early 70's and really took it to heart. I had actually determined not to have any kids of my own long before, but that book made me want to personally sterilize half the people on earth.
The missus said she wanted at least one kid. I said I wanted at most one kid, so our interests overlapped.
Condos over there! Shopping center over there! Plenty of parking!
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower.
I hear in paradise, your lawnmower starts on the second or third pull.
Maybe you knew Gary Gallegos. He was the chief engineer for CalTRANS around here, and then stepped failed up to being the regional council of gummints (SANDAG) honcho. He does not care for mass transit, puts all programming for it in FY-never, and did it so blatantly the |Cleveland National Forest Foundation| (an admirable and tiny not-for-profit) sued SANDAG's ass and won!
I have not yet discovered the advantage(s) that Uber has over say, traditional taxicabs. I see lots of stories about "passenger overcharged by Uber driver" or "passenger sexually assaulted by Uber driver" or "Uber driver underpaid", which either by availability phenomenon or selection bias or some other reason I do not tend to see about taxi drivers.
A hashtag and everything! Classy!
We don't need no stinkin' tested technology. What's the worst that could happen?
Oh! I know! They'd drive about as bad as ones driven by humans?
Low bar to clear on this one.
Ten minutes on the Superstition Freeway and those cars are gonna need valium and shots of tequila.
The fuck does CA know about highways and safety and stuff, anyway? (Highways and safety and stuff in CA was my gig for twenty years or so.)
The Sovereign Kingdom of CALTRANS, the great Satan! I knew it!
Right? It's got "trans" right in the title. Scary! Evil!
Ha! It's not their diversity we fear, so much as their uncontrollable desire to cover every open surface with concrete, bituminous or otherwise!
Too much traffic? Build more freeways!
Not enough traffic? Build more freeways!

My lawnmower? Mine starts every time.

That's not paradise, that's communism. I can one up you, though- my property doesn't even have a lawn. (Nihilists!)
Proud retired CalTransient! We bleed orange. Or we used to, orange sucks anymore.

I've been to Queens, but not to Bishop. I guess I'm a pawn.
I've never been to Spain, but I've been to Oklahoma.
We'll always have Paris.
Just a half hour south of Mammoth.
I haven't been to Mammoth.
It's yuuuge.

No offense to those of you in the Grand Canyon State, but those self-driving cars will drive safely than a lot of Arizona drivers do.
homo sapiens- low bar

Please provide us with a list of things you have not yet discovered, but expect to, in the next 18 months (use the back of this comment if necessary).
Friend of a friend had to avoid b)- avoiding sexual assault by uber driver
I don't know what I don't know!
Is knowledge knowable? If not, how do we know this?
Only Donald Rumsfeld can solve this conundrum.
