  12. Beverly Hills' subway spat

    Beverly Hills' embarrassing battle against the Westside subway extension, which emerged as a major political issue last year, is becoming one of the key issues in the March 5 city elections.

In other words: Stop gumming up the rails, Beverly Hills, for your own sake and L.A.'s.
