We have to keep up the illusion of endless pouring rain, it's all that holds the Californians back from swarming up the coast and turning us into another LA. That and the fact that our freeways were designed by idiots. I'm sure that's why mass transit hasn't ever happened. The city councils figure if they make enough people sit in traffic for long enough they'll leave. It eliminates the need for growth planning. It's all one big conspiracy, yeah, that's it... ;-)
Someday when I have less economic incentive to live here I hope to move east of the Cascades. Four seasons would really be nice, and over in Eastern Washington when they complain about traffic I just laugh.
