Admittedly never is a long time but it certainly appears that social conditions are seriously deteriorating in California and that is likely to continue. Not a boon for transit.
They should have bought out the Tejon Ranch Co. to secure the ROW at Tejon-Grapevine and built a proof of concept line from Bako to Burbank.
