Well, this is hardly a new crisis. I lived there before and after Prop 13 and it was a crisis then too. They way I solved it for me was to leave California.
If you live and work in L.A. odds are good you're spending about 1 out of every 10-15 years of your life in traffic. And that's a 24/7/365 year. Deduct sleep and work from what remains and you don't have much of a life left.
I figured that out sitting on the Ventura Fwy one day and started planning my escape when I got home. That was 30 years ago I never miss it a bit.
I visited LA for the 1st time last year when my wife and went to "Desert Trip". In some respects it was better, and I tip my hat to Californians when I say that.
They only thing I'll say "fer sure" was worse are "In-n-Out Burgers". They weren't even close to as good. Neither were the fries. I was sad about that and to be fair I kinda do do miss those.
