Guten Morgen!
We just got back from picking up my wife's sister at LAX. What an utter clusterfuck that place is. In a year or two all the construction will be done, but holy moly it was stressful.
@sentientdessert I live right next to the airport, and the infrastructure going up is unreal. They eminent domained and razed an entire neighborhood, and are in the last stages of building an offsite parking lot and rental car center. A people mover will take you from that to the terminals. And once the people mover is set, then the last two stations of the new Crenshaw Line light rail will be opened. This is all for the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.

My initial response to this information...
@sentientdessert Oh, this happened a good 15 years ago. That's how long this has been going on.
@LiberalLibrarian Does it have lightrail yet? Not trying to rub it in if not, actually interested.
@LiberalLibrarian It was under construction 20 years ago when I flew out there weekly.
@LiberalLibrarian Here's hoping that the construction is done well so that you're not having to deal with that 5 years from now when they need to tear it up and replace it.
