an analysis of bureaucratic policy

Generally people don't like change. They might entertain the word change (as witnessed by the past presidential election) but, everything virtually remains the same. Generally, people don't like to change anything.

Traditionally, over the past 80 years, all transportation infrastructure has been government orchestrated. The result of government involvement is like an intrusion to implement bloated dysfunction. An example is represented by the horrible condition of California roads. The economy is a disaster due to government intrusion. In addition to high taxes are additional specialized fees that are forced on businesses strictly for the purpose of collecting fees to support a regulatory body whose only function is to collect a fee. Those government offices are filled with government employees who know nothing about the businesses they regulate. The same is true with urban planning but, some of these policies are implemented by politics. Much of transportation has little to do with mobility but, is generally dictated by political favor.
