#3 "We’re now staring down the consequences for that lack of vision."

...I heard that part in Emperor Palpatine's voice.

And you'll notice it's not the out-of-control-crime, it's not the berserk social policies, it's post-pandemic woes.

Golden Gate $8.50 a day, Bay Bridge $7.00 a day.
And they don't take cash.

"To use Bay Area bridges without a toll tag or License Plate Account, you may set up a short-term, one-time payment account that allows you to pay recent or future tolls online with a credit card, or with cash, check or money order at a FasTrak retail location."
