Even San Francisco thinks L.A. is right

John & Ken over at KFI are talking a lot about the push to widen the 405. You know L.A. is onto something when even the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board says so:

LOS ANGELES is getting a raw deal in the first round of proposed grants from the state's $19.9 billion transportation bond approved by voters last November. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has every right to scream about the omission of funding for widening the perpetually clogged 405 Freeway over the Sepulveda Pass. Now that we've established that we're not looking at this issue from a purely provincial perspective, let us add: The San Francisco Bay Area is also getting shortchanged in the first wave of funding recommendations issued by the California Transportation Commission's staff.

The San Diego Union-Tribune is upset about San Diego's freeway money, too -- and also has kind words from L.A.
