The critical mass article describes the event: "alternately used to protest oil use, war and commercialism." WTF? Is that true? I thought it was about transit. (Actually, I think it's really about gleeful subversion, but that's not a noble enough cause to be official.)

Gee, I wonder how long it will take the corrupt dept. of housing to forget and neglect the shiny new Valencia Gardens project and let the n****** take over and destroy it?
