This is WONDERFUL news.
We always complain that the city is inundated with illegals. Villar-Raigosa says there's nothing he can do about gas prices.
When illegals have to pay nearly $5 per gallon of gas, it is the one way to make the illegals leave and there's nothing that Villar-Raigosa can do about it.
City Council can't do anything about it, either.
If there are legal citizens, of any race, who can't pay this amount, it's a strong reminder to them that it is never too late to go back to school, work hard, and get yourself into a better paying job.
Or, perhaps, you can just leave L.A. Density and traffic will soon become problems of the past. Watch. You will see.
Can't we bring back the rickshaw?
We could put a lot of people to work as rickshaw runners (I'd prefer hunky college boys) and think of how our air quality would benefit! I'm just askin'.

valley doll, you're an idiot. "hunky college boys" will get white collar jobs.
for the illegals, though, this would be a great idea. even their men.
11:39 you are boring, have no sense of humor, and more than likely have not had a bowel movement in days.
"for the illegals, though, this would be a great idea. even their men.
you also can't string together a sentence. talk about idiots.
12:02, 11:39 seems to be interesting enough for YOU to respond.
Sounds like your anus hasn't been worked over in a long time.
(Since you're so fond of mentioning bowels, I figure that referencing your anus is acceptable)
THAT PICTURE MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN LAST MONTH. I PAST BY THIS VERY GAS STATION (JIP JOINT) TODAY AND THE PRICE IS MARKED UP AT LEAST ANOTHER 10-13 CENTS. YES IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES, THIS IS THE FUTUTRE WE HAVE CREATED.
NOW WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SO WE CAN LIVE A COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE WITHOUT THE OUTRAGES GAS PRICES. LOOKING AT THIS BILLBOARD MAKES ME THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO RIDE A HORSE. I WILL HAVE TO BUY 'FEED', LEARN TO RIDE AND MAINTANE A HORSE AND INCURE OTHER COSTS. "I WOULD DO IT", AND I KNOW SOME OF THE BENEFITS WOULD BE: BETTER 'GREEN' ENVIORNMENT, LESS TRAFFIC, LOWER RATE IN CHILDREN BECOMING CORRUPT INTO UNLAWFUL WAYS (TEACH THE YOUTH TO GROOM, RIDE, FEED, AND GROW WITH HORSES) AND BRING BACK A SLOWER SENSE OF (TIME) NOT BEING IN A HURRY.
THIS IS ONLY ONE OPTION, ANOTHER WILL BE MOVE FOWARD INTO THE FUTURE AND ESTABLISH LOS ANGELES AS THE WORLD LEADER IN FUEL CELL DEVELOPMENT, ALL VEHICLES AND GOVERNMENT FACILITES BY 2012. <~~~~ NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
I HAVE OTHER IDEAS BUT I WILL HOLD THEM FOR NOW AS I AM NOT BEING COMPENSATED FOR MY CONSULTING SERVICES.......
ROSE HILLS REVIEW,

The only two answers are to buy vehicles that are VASTLY better with mileage (i.e. not a Ford Edge, but something with at least 40 miles per gallon. right now, only the Prius or electrical cars do that).
Or, demand that your leaders provide much deeper and better public transit.
Getting away from valley ditz trying to be a smartass would be a good start, too. This is far too important. Hopefully she will grow up now and respond to the TOPIC rather than her aching ego.

She loves negative attention.

I'm keeping pretty regular, thanks. And my anus and my aching ego thank you, too, for your concern. It's all about the fiber.
As for staying on topic, joking or not, shouldn't we be exploring as many alternate forms of transportation that wouldn't require the use of gasoline, as possible?
I remember in Westwood, there used to be bike-driven carriages that would take people around the Village. Why can't we look into more forms of "people powered" transportation for short-spurt trips?
I know, alternative transportation... what an idiotic concept.
Yours in Regularity,
Valley Ditz
The last thing we want are irregular rickshaw men and women runners.
Valley Doll has made the case.
She thrives on attention. Even negative attention.
(her shrill online voice): That's not a sentence! Luv YUH!
Who's the dim bulb? Every time a woman gets the better of him on this post he calls her shrill. Look up some new words. Or maybe you are backed up. No, seriously.
Hmmm... alternative transportation. There's always that airship drawing that's featured in Mad Magazine...
people complain too much. gas is not that expensive.
and it is NEVER too late to go back to school, work hard, and get yourself into a better paying job.
and illegals will pay whatever it is and continue moving the economy.
:)
"We could put a lot of people to work as rickshaw runners (I'd prefer hunky college boys) and think of how our air quality would benefit! I'm just askin'.
"
The cities of Pasadena and Los Angeles outlawed horses & carriages and rickshaw runners feeling that auto drivers would not honor the rules of the road for the people who used the legal transport vehicles.

Wrong...my employees were, white, black and yellow . The men and woman were anglo, black, hipanic, aztec indian and chinese. ALL WERE LEGAL; TWO LEGAL IMMIGANTS. You figure out which two.
There was a "Kiss My Gas" protest in Hollywood today -- check out the Daily News. Apparently got good coverage from the media, even though there were literally just a handful of people there.
They're going to target one company a month, starting with Mobile -- whose PR gal sounded worried, so this may work. If you all want to do something useful, join the protest -- Doll, bring the kiddies.
OR you can argue about how unseemly it is for a middle aged Valley Mom to fantasize about hot college guys pulling her around in a rickshaw.
8:01 = typical Hispanic racist.
There is an "aztec Indian," because Gawd forbid, it's just a "Mexican Indian," or worse, "Latino Indian."
But they call us "anglos," as though being a Russian immigrant who speaks English with a heavy accent or a Persian Jew has anything in common with a Brit educated at Eton/Oxbridge or even with a Socialite from Iowa?
I was at a dinner giving an award to Sandra Cisneros, the writer, and the presenter called her a Latina writer, meant in praise.
"I'm a Chicana," she angrily snapped. "Latina can also apply to Salvadorans and Guatemalans and Venezualans, and we are all very different!" Thus she saith to the discomfited "anglo."
