No need to apologize, this rant needs to be here, even if it's just so I know I'm not crazy.
We know who fucked it up anyhow. It's the same folks who vote against zoning in new residential, or for a charged express lane. They don't even need to talk about it, they're all on the same page. "People like me deserve a more convenient life."
The real shame is, the population who's most adversely affected by this crap is too tired at the end of the week to even keep an eye out for this. Let alone read up on what the right vote would even be.
