How is it that freeway construction can be assumed to somehow be immune to all these problems?

They’re not but they’re already built and therefore are already an ongoing concern. CEQA and a lot of the more asinine pro-labor and tax policies that exist today throughout the State postdate the established right of ways for most of the highways.

I won't say freeways are immune to all these problems , but built freeways don't close for union strikes.

No eminent domain issues as the state already owns the right of way.
