> Demographically, the average Measure M supporter resembled someone with a very high likelihood of driving: They owned cars, enjoyed free parking at home and work, and had higher incomes.
Most people in LA drive. They own at least one car, and parking is not scarce. Are we supposed to be shocked and dismayed that people who want to fund competent mass transit don't use a system that fails to meet their needs?

It might be fun to call transit supporters a bunch of party-first limousine liberals, but the dull conclusion is that Republicans reflexively vote against taxation measures.
The article does get at that, but the headline is clickbait and consideration of "likelihood to use transit" in a place with mass transit as messed up as LA is a red herring.
