Which is your opinion.
You do realize good walkability isn't just about transit, right? It has to do with how cities are developed. In this case LA is a sprawled out city and you reasonably expect to have mass transit everywhere it is cheaper to build huge freeways in low density areas yet you have to have urban freeways because people in their car have every right to access the urban core just as you do in your bus, bike, train, or whatever you want to see take you there, but they also deserve the proper accommodations and expansions to the freeway system that currently exists to ease traffic for cars.
If anyone thinks traffic will go away due to mass transit, they are kidding themselves. Traffic only goes away for those who choose to use mass transit. But fortunately, we live in a free society and we don't dictate how people live... or that's the way it is supposed to be. So people can choose between mass transit or car but don't expect to not have a freeway system throughout the metro and not having a massive voter base which primarily relies on cars to fund a transit tax and not have freeway expansion included in it. That is foolish. I wouldn't ask to have a car dominated core(which I think should be changed) and it is to reach a better balance, but it seems there are those who ask for the extremes like doing away with freeway expansion which is moronic.
