Guest Day Editor Zuma Dogg will be joining LAist with a few posts throughout the day. Read his introductory interview here and check out his site as well as Mayor Sam where he contributes. He also wrote an article in the current edition of the LA Weekly
So if the city feels "subway to the sea" and high-speed "magic bullet trains" are part of the plan, are you willing to vote for the billions and billions it will cost, that you will have to pitch in for?
School construction: If LAUSD came to you and said, "Will you vote for more bond money to build more schools." How would you vote:

I'd get out there and start digging today if they'd let me.
I can bring a golden shovel and a camera.
Not a very fairly worded question, was it? I'm disappointed.
How about phrasing it like this:
"Would you be willing to make a tiny investment that will finally get cars off the road, reduce traffic, improve air quality, and make Los Angeles a world-class city? Or would you rather give away tax dollars to Hollywood studio execs, who will be making billions this year without our help?"
Thank you Fred, I feel the exact same way... how about MetroRiderLA spearheading a movement to do just that: volunteer labor for the subway to the sea ought to bring down the costs just a little, right?
Should we start rounding up the hard hats and orange vests? This could be a new campaign... guerilla public works projects.
lolz la bus girl. i can bring one shovel and any number of random tools. i went crazy one day about a year go and bought a load of stuff from home depot. anyone got one of those laser things that sit on a tripod and are orange, or we could just eye ball it.
and yes, i'd be more than happy and would most def vote for a tax that would go directly to public transit and no place else tho i fear such an opinion is the minority.
We can lift some of those cones/placard thingies, so people don't run us over while we're in a trench.
one of those trucks with the blinky arrows would help in that department too. let's lift one of those as well.
Hell yeah I'd vote for a bond measure/tax increase to pay for the subway -- if I knew it was going to go to the subway and nowhere else.
I'd prefer it only go to Westwood and provide a connection to the Expo Line (North/South from Westwood to LAX?).

They already take half my paycheck and I see no progress, only maintenance. Go ahead, just take 2/3 and give me results.
Rico: that's why we have to build it ourselves...
