Gifts? No Thanks!

California 78 traffic builds up and cars are bumper to bumper, creating pollution, crowding, waiting.

Then they widen it to three lanes on each side. Traffic builds up and cars are bumper to bumper, creating even more pollution, crowding, waiting.

Then they widen it to four lanes on each side. Traffic builds up and cars are bumper to bumper, creating even more pollution, crowding, waiting.

Then they put in a trash-to-energy plant that needs to burn 40,000 tons of garbage per month. In pounds that’s, let’s see, 40,000 times 2,000 equals 80,000,000 pounds of polluting incineration per month!

Then they widen California 78 to five lanes on each side and traffic builds up and cars are bumper to bumper, creating even more pollution, crowding, waiting.

La Costa Boulevard traffic builds up. Encinitas Boulevard traffic builds up. Mission Boulevard traffic builds up. Rancho Santa Fe traffic builds up. East Valley Parkway traffic builds up.

Who is responsible for bringing us all these gifts? Why are we “silly” enough to accept them? What does your neighbor think about it?
