Have a chance to move to LA. How's the climbing?

Andrew Ricewrote:

Not sure where you're driving but that's not true. HOV lanes on 405 in LA are just 2+ people. No pass required. I see a lot of Fastrak lanes in OC though, and that toll road. Per Caltrans there's 700 miles of HOV lanes in LA County. 

110 near 105 to Adam’s is FastTrak. That’s the only one I’ve been on.

Part of the 10 out toward Claremont and Mt. Baldy, etc. is also a Fastrak lane, too. But those are still pretty uncommon in LA overall. 

Must be a San Diego thing...

It’s an OC thing and NotMyName clearly thinks it’s LA   

Andy and li don’t know geography. Andy is wrong as usual. HOV lane on 405 requires a paid fasttrak transponder with any amount of people. Without the transponder it’s an automatic huge fine. And people who are ride sharing in a diamond lane cannot exit before toll.

Much of the LA 110 and 405 fasttrak replaced hov carpool lanes. And when people refer to “LA” they mean the whole county, if not the many counties that surround LA. But as usual Andy rarely leaves home west side and denies reality . Li has all the OC toll roads confused with all the fastrak toll lanes.
They are all different . Rules are different. LA is replacing all HOV lanes with toll lanes.
keep defending your hellhole .

Not true.

I drive the 210, the 5, the 405, the 605, and the 91 almost weekly. I always use the HOV lanes, and none of them are FASTRAK lanes. In fact, the only FASTRAK lanes I ever use are on the 110. 

405 is fastrak during the day.

At one point, I didn’t have a sticker/RF tag, but they only charged me the toll. I don’t think that’s changed, but I do pay tolls for all three counties regularly.

Not defending LA/OC and the greater LA area including San Diego, but just trying to ensure some correctness here? Major cities everywhere are all far from cheap. Unless you live on a farm somewhere and grow most of your food, inflation will affect all of us.

Traffic is also bad in every major city. San Diego traffic is horrendous, and I do visit there quite often. I’ve got family down there complaining about traffic and cost of living going up.

LA isn’t too much different, except there is more “affordable”  housing up in LA if you can call anything near a metropolitan region affordable.

Not in L.A.

There's a nice easy to understand picture on that website that shows this.

Gladly.

You're an idiot. Look at the copyright and content of the website you cited.

Los Angeles is NOT in Orange County. The 405 car pool lanes in LA County don't require a transponder and definitely don't charge. Just drove in one yesterday! 

At this point I think Taylor is just glad they stayed in Tucson, or any where but LA lol.

Impossible! There's no HOV lanes there...

It certainly kicked mine in the summer. Nogales was cooler.

Never did I say anyone should move anywhere in California. That includes San Diego. Cult members want more people in LA. All major cities don’t have the worst traffic and parking in the USA. Why do you want people moving to LA? The roads are un crowded?

Andy has a hard time reading. LA includes dozens of cities including the 405 toll lanes in Long Beach area, south LA. The 110 toll lanes require a transponder and all carpool lanes in LA are being converted to roll. Troll harder Andy . Why do you want more people in LA?

Have you been to other cities? Based upon your statements, I’d say no. Try driving in NYC, Boston, DC, Chicago, … 

You have unusually strong opinions of CA and the Los Angeles regions. Cultish, almost.

Detroit only had bad traffic when there was a base ball game or something down town. Otherwise total ghost town.

You have a cultish misconception that all US cities are like LA , DC, Chicago and Boston. Not true. I’ve driven coast to coast and no most cities are not Boston. You’re  cultish in your obsession in growing Los Angeles. Are you a real estate agent? You grasp that people in nyc aren’t begging people to move to nyc.

Maybe they should...
