Oh goodie, another billion!

I yoosta be able to go from point A to point B, just like that. In the space of 30 years, now between A and B it has all been filled in with "development" and I have to stop 40 times. Old days = cruise right through; Now = accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. Right? Right. That's how it is. In California the population doubled in the last 35 years. What will it be like 35 years from now? Here's a hint: accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait. accel, brake, stop, wait.
