Very nicely put, Michael, a realization the denial of which lies at
the heart of many of LA's problems.

Without agreeing or disagreeing, however, I'd like to know why you
prefer Riordan over Hayden (I've met and like Hayden, but that was
well before any mayorial run on his part, so I don't what proposals
he's made, particularly as events occuring west of the Hudson River
aren't, by law, reported here). Though I only experienced a year or
Riordan, I'd think of him as catering more to the LA as endless
suburbia ideal than Hayden ... am I wrong here? 

Also, is Hayden following the LA Weekly, progressive party line that
prefers to trash the Red Line rather than finish it and just put more
buses into the system?
