It's that HS link between LA and LV that would be unbelievable. Huge #'s
drive to LV every weekend. Many of those drinking in both directions and
overtired on the way home. The impact on that behavior as well as the
extra room for the commercial traffic that uses that corridor regularly
makes that project stupid *not* to do. Yet the so called
"environmentalists" have stopped it.
