It’s Measure R Day at the Los Angeles Times
by Nathan Walpow
Two articles about Measure R, the half-cent sales tax increase to fund transportation, in today’s Times.
First, road sage Steve Hymon weighs in with an excellent Q&A. There’s info about where the money would go (and where it wouldn’t), who can get their hands on it, who’s for it and against it, and what happens if it doesn’t pass.
Then, architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne, in “the first of two articles on the intersection of public transit, urbanism and architecture on next week’s ballot,” waxes nostalgic for an earlier time, before automobile traffic increased both the temporal distance and the psychological one between neighborhoods.
Two very different pieces, both well worth reading. And check out our own Gary Phillips’s Measure R piece too.
