The rail stuff is a bit of a sideshow -- I think in a decade or so the outline of transportation in LA will begin to take shape around 2 modes: 1. 2 wheeled vehicles driven/ridden/pedaled by a person 2. ridesharing cars, shuttles,

Like the post author, I use Coffeescript+React -- and don't care for JSX. (I'd go further and say that XML of any kind has shown itself unfit for direct editing by humans, but that's a larger discussion.) Coffeescript has it
