Late last week, Torched's Alissa Walker broke a story about LAX getting construction underway on a massive roadway expansion. When complete, it will send even more cars into the already gridlocked central "horseshoe" roadway. Widening the roads leading into an unchanged horseshoe will, you guessed it, worsen congestion in the horseshoe.

For only $157 billion, at this rate it'll be cheaper to demolish the airport and rebuild it just to put the station where it should have been all along...

how the fuck? My city just built a full elevated metro that also connects directly to the airport for 8 billion CAD (6bil USD). How does the LAX station cost that much?
