Hi, I live in NYC, enough said about that. What I wanted to share was this film I recently watched called 'Grassroots' with Jason Biggs I think you would find it interesting and relevant. It was based on a true story about an eccentric guy who tries to get elected to city office so he can extend the monorail in Seattle. At the end of the movie there were pics and clips of monorails from other cities around the world. Monorails are electric and clean and after I nosed about on the internet for more info I found how practical, safe, and green thy are. No gas or emissions which is something LA can do with a little less. Much like the subways in New York. Not to mention the beauty of the monorail, some I've seen are absolutely gorgeous and since they are above ground a rider will get to see the cityscape on their way to work or to school. Also the countless jobs it would create. My father is a Union Ironworker and I am a welder so take this into consideration. I think its a good idea.
