Whenever the idea of breaking California in 2 comes up, the idea that the inland areas are conservative is floated.
For Southern CA, that's not true. Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino handedly are passing Prop 50.
Riverside and SB are the 4th & 5 most populous counties in the state.

43,000 Americans are killed by motorists every year. 2.4 million are injured. 3 children every day die on our roads.
About 250 die on transit.
That should deter people from driving.

So we were out walking the dogs tonight, downtown on the pedestrian mall. A Tesla blew through this stop sign at 30 mph to pull into the parking garage the next block. I followed him to yell at him, but he didn't bat an eye.
The attendant said Tesla drivers are the worst.
But bikes are the problem

As a former government employee, I'm ashamed of stupid some of my fellow civil servants are. I would love to know the thought process behind this
Here's one from a few years ago when my city put road furniture in the middle of a downhill on the Santa Ana River Trail
(Which quickly got ripped out)
