Los Angeles used to have America’s best transit system. Now, its metro is a mess. While New York’s subway connects a dense city, LA’s sprawl and bad planning left hardworking folks stuck in traffic or wasting hours on slow trains. Liberals poured billions into a system that doesn’t work for regular people.
LA’s trains all go downtown, like old systems designed for factory workers. But LA isn’t a factory town—it’s spread out where families live and work. This “monocentric” design forces riders to travel miles out of their way just to transfer lines. Common sense says: build lines where people actually need to go!
New York’s subway isn’t perfect, but it’s fast and runs all night. LA’s metro shuts down early and takes four times longer than driving. Imagine waiting 45 minutes for a train that might not show up! This is what happens when bureaucrats ignore reality and push trains on a car-loving city.
The “experts” want more rail lines, but taxpayers are fed up. Building one mile of track now costs $1 billion thanks to red tape and union rules. That’s your money wasted on empty trains while potholes wreck your car. Real solutions? Fix the roads and cut regulations so buses can move freely.
LA’s leaders keep pushing trains to please environmentalists. They’d rather lecture you about carbon footprints than admit most Angelenos prefer cars. Forced density and “transit villages” are invading suburbs, making neighborhoods crowded and unaffordable. This isn’t progress—it’s a war on the American way of life.
New York’s subway succeeds because the city is packed tight. LA’s beauty is its space: backyards, parking spots, and the freedom to drive. The left wants to take that away, herding people into dirty trains and tiny apartments. True patriots know government can’t replace the open road.
Conservatives understand: let people choose. Improve buses, add express lanes, and slash transit bureaucracy. Stop punishing drivers with taxes and tolls. LA doesn’t need to be New York—it needs to respect the citizens who keep this country moving.
The metro’s failure shows what happens when elites ignore reality. Billions spent, riders avoiding trains, and streets still jammed. It’s time for practical solutions, not pipe dreams. Let’s get LA moving again by trusting Americans, not bureaucrats.
