Federal lawmakers representing the Los Angeles region warned that the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games could be a congestion nightmare if the federal government doesn’t fulfill a request for billions of dollars for transportation projects.
Rep. Laura Friedman said Wednesday the lack of financial assistance could increase traffic, result in fewer buses and worsen public transit reliability during the Games.
“That will be a terrible result, not just for Los Angeles, but for the whole nation,” Friedman said.
Let’s see what wins out. Trump’s petty / vindictive side and his urge to hurt cities that didn’t vote for him and resist his policies.
Or Trump’s vanity, and his desire to be center stage at the Olympics in summer 2028.
Or he’ll balance both and say that LA needs to make it all about Trump in order to get transportation money.
Trump will do whatever it takes to fuck over California
Like arranging for the Olympics and other heavily tourist and locally destructive events to be there.
He will also do whatever it takes to grift and inflate his ego.
