"Los Angeles... Enough Said"

For the past three weeks, I have been on the road. A great American road trip called my name, and I gladly hopped on the peace train headed south. Traveling from Oregon to the southern California, I saw the beauty of Lake Tahoe, the gorgeous beaches of Santa Barbara, and....don don don... the smog clogged city of Los Angeles. My favorite treat? The hour and a half trek from Santa Monica to Hollywood. Sprawl is truly the downfall of LA. Sorry Cali residents, but taxes need to rise, public transportation needs to be seriously implemented, and those precious BMWs need to be put away. LA is not a city for people, it is a city designed for the car. You can't walk to the grocery store, work, or even to a bar without fear of getting run over or  ingesting heavy exhaust from a bleach blonde's Lexus as she swerves around you. It is time for a serious makeover, LA. Superficiality is not a reality.
