When did I say ‘everyone is afraid to say anything’? Everyone kvetches about everything in California.
I said folks are afraid to cut through the BS - by telling people with less important kvetching to sit down and shut up. Because if they do, the how dare they outrage will follow them around forever and make their life hell.
You know, so it can be built now, and actually solve a problem, instead of it costing 50x times more than is reasonable and be done decades from now.
Because let’s get real - people have been kvetching while driving their cars on I5 and flying for decades, and even with this approval will continue to do so for at least a decade more. And will likely kvetch about how it sucks and that is why they don’t use it later.
