Just as long as ppl always keep in mind how costly & sloooow it will be to add to existing transit in LA, they won't be setting themselves up for too much disappointment.
I feel that if I get too much into the details & specifics of what our new transit systems should be like----beyond dealing with the current extension of the Gold line & the construction of the Expo line-----it would be similiar to discussing how Titan's Olympic & City House condo towers should have green granite outer walls, with 40 trees on each side, a fountain in the center, 13 exercise rooms, a conference ctr w/a 50 ft long table, entry doors w/gold frames, 20 apts that are exactly 2800 sq ft, a dog walk, ceilings no less than 11.5 ft high, 2 restaurants on the ground floor, etc.
IOW, at this point in time, creating a full fledged subway/train system in LA unfortunately still is so much pie in the sky (no thanks to our voting against the use of sales taxes for subways) that to get beyond the most vague generalities----such as saying: the Red Line must go to SaMo!!----guarantees I'll be setting myself up for disappointment.
