I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

They can want it. I don't think it's a bad idea.

American automakers though? They'll either break everyone working on this initiative or bribe the IOC enough to break old bribe records.

Heck, Elon Musk is going to be immensely annoying about this very thing and will be annoying enough.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't try, but they need to accept that sheer tidal wave of pushback coming their way.

I feel like the fact that its even being discussed in this way is a huge step forward for LA. Even if we don't make it, whatever improvements would be greatly appreciated.
