Gas Prices Through the Roof in Downtown Los Angeles

This is happening here in Southern California.

Check out these photos sent to me through Twitter:

Of course, This was in response to a tweet I had sent out on another Twitter handle:

These are the prices in Downey! pic.twitter.com/3XQTU1UoAd

In Downey, CA, often times the lowest gas prices I will find in the Los Angeles County/Southland area, I thought that I had found some real relief.

Of course, I have seen gas prices as low as $2.15 outside of Albuquerque, and I am certain that those gas prices have declined even further since Thanksgiving, 2018.

Back to the tweet from Usagi …

Gas prices have hit $5.29 near Union Station. This is unthinkable. Don't believe it? Here's the photo again:

The gas taxes, the Cap and Trade taxes are hitting urban areas, and these regions, I submit, are disproportionately poorer than other sections of the state of California.

I think it's horrific that the Sacramento political class is pushing out more taxes on working people, and the results are these sky-high prices.

The goal has been to get people out of their cars entirely.

What will happen when hard-up people simply decide to move out of the area? So much for getting people out of their cars …

By the way, ladies and gentlemen, especially those living in the Downtown Los Angeles area … you had a chance to lower your gas taxes. You should have voted YES on Prop 6?
