That the most upvoted comment right now, in reply to an article about socioeconomic injustice, in a forum read by people who benefit from the status quo, is complaining about the roads not being good enough is rather telling.
While I get and agree with your point, coming from the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum you reference I must say, our roads in the Bay Area are seriously broken. Dangerous for motorcyclists and drivers the same.
I had moved away for a couple years and when I came back they were a mess.
Yes, we could put more money other places, but the roads would be a decent place to put some money to have a lasting impact.
Better public transit with expanded routes would be pretty nice too. It still blows me away that some higher city public officials make a quarter million or more.
They're suppose to be public servants yet they forget what it's like to live on the lower rungs.
