L.A.’s Transit Dilemma: Why Rail Systems Are Failing the People

New York’s subway works because millions pack into tight neighborhoods. Los Angeles sprawls across valleys and hills. That’s why cramming rail lines into downtown L.A. makes no sense. Hardworking folks live miles apart. Trains can’t reach everyone.

New York built its subway over 100 years ago. Back then, cities grew up, not out. L.A. leaders copied that old blueprint. It failed. Wasting tax dollars on empty trains to downtown hurts regular people. Priorities matter.

The subway’s success needs density. New York has it. L.A. doesn’t. Forcing rail on spread-out suburbs is like fitting a square peg in a round hole. Families need cars here. That’s reality.

Liberal politicians keep pushing trains nobody rides. They ignore buses that actually serve neighborhoods. Fancy rail projects get headlines. Practical fixes get ignored. Real solutions respect how Americans live.

Building rail today costs too much. Red tape and unions slow everything down. In New York, a single mile costs billions. L.A. can’t afford that. Taxpayers deserve better than endless construction zones.

The old Red Car system worked because it connected where people lived. Modern planners killed that freedom. Now they want to trap folks in bureaucratic transit schemes. Freedom means choices, not forced rides.

Real innovation means buses, shuttles, and tech — not slow trains. Let private companies compete. Uber and Lyft beat waiting hours for a delayed Metro. Let the free market fix this mess.

L.A. should learn from its mistakes. Stop copying failed cities. Build what works here. Protect taxpayers. Put people over politics. That’s the American way.
