ParticipantGophers – The Black Box. Find it at Hanks hardware or Ace. It’s a black box with a small hole in one end. Bury it so the hole is exposed to light. The gopher will try and close the hole and will trip a spring trapping the varmint. Worked after trying flooding, road flares, guns, etc.
Roach and Silverfish – Roach Proof – Again at an ACE Hardware. It’s a fine powder much like the Boric Acid and sprinkled around will work. Give it a couple of weeks.
Good Luck.
Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]When I visited Australia, I found most of the people lived in the suburbs outside the main city very much like SoCal, the main difference is they used trains to commute to the city to work for the most part (sydney, melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns anyway).
They still had cars for the most part, but they were more for the weekend and shopping.[/quote]
and fuel cost is double US price…. Still like to see all of the options suggested implemented.

Participant” The 15 on sigalert used to be red every morning and evening. Now it seems its not. ”
This I believe is a direct result of our state of economy. Fewer jobs, costler fuel.
While we can pro/con rails, freeway lanes, the main point is we are now well behind the curve. I’m not pleased with SANDAG and CalTrans, etc. for not heeding their own population forecasts and building infrastructure before it becomes a real ( expensive ) problem to fix.
30 yrs ago they expanded the I15 from Corona to Temec. It was empty for years but ready for the building boom that followed. This was good foresight.
Of course the funding is always an issue, but when I see we the State dipping into the transporting funds ( gas tax ) and diverting into the general budget.. that is a problem.

ParticipantFreeways move a tremendous amount of cars. Average traffic counts for Hwy 5 in SD-LA range between 10k-20k per hour!
Agree with NorCAl idea of starting with the ends first. But… even with a terrific rail system I’m not sure how much a dent you would put in those traffic counts.
Wider freeways is my vote both in cost and effectiveness.
Thumbs down to the transit folks who has not invested and expanded the freeway system to keep up with So Cal growth.
