I was reading the Measure M allocations, and widening freeways was at $20 million, but if a bridge was involved, all of a sudden the cost was $200 million. It's crazy to think of the trillion ways we could have used the trillion dollars the bush administration stole from us for this cluster fuck that is Iraq. It's just so sad. Bridges are expensive.

The bridge in Minneapolis was rated a 4 on a scale of 1 to 9. When Los Angeles started rating restaurants on a scale of A to D, I stopped eating at restaurants rated less than a B. I wonder if people would start voting for funds to improve infrastructure if every bridge had its 1 to 9 rating posted. Apparently 80,000 bridges in the US are rated as “Structurally Deficient”.
