Depressing @Cal_Plan interview with major LA transit advocate @DennyZane@MoveLATransit, who opposes @Scott_Wiener#SB50 (allowing apartments near major transit). His arguments are incorrect & self-defeating: planningreport.com/2019/09/16/den… 1/8
First, he argues that requiring density near transit would sink transit ballot measures, as NIMBY suburbs would oppose them. But why should taxpayers pay for transit to low-density areas with weak ridership results? That's what happened in LA, with $$ wasted on weak lines. 2/8
