I think the Journal appreciates it less, given the current quality of the Times. And seriously ... WSJ is owned by one of the most successful media entrepreneurs in the modern era; NYT is owned (or at least controlled, given the disproportional voting power of their shares) by the Sulzberger family due to inheritance, not personal success. Between those two options, I'll take Murdoch any day of the week.

I've been watching of the quality of the Journal flag over the last few months.. Little by little articles are getting shorter and "thinner". It's sad watching this death of 1000 cuts on what was once the best paper in America.
Murdoch is killing the Journal and will leave a pretty and vacant "USA Today" candy shell in it's place. The toothless "editorial board" will do nothing.
At least I still have the Economist.

Yes. It's well known that Murdoch wants to make WSJ a competitor with NYT and the other major dailies, which it never has been. The WSJ has been the go-to source for all things business (obviously), and quirky and unusual front page features.
The standards aren't changing (yet), but the layout and play of the stories are changing dramatically. :(

I was in LA on business in late 2006. I was able to stay in Pasadena and commute by train to the Downtown office where i was working. I drove to work 2 times in the time I was working there, and the same commute by car took anywhere from 1.5 to 2 times as long.
The Del Mar condos featured in the article are very cool, and I saw tons of condos and rental popping up around stations.
Edit:
I should also add that the rail cars and stations were very clean and well maintained. This good repair wasn't from lack of use though.. The trains themselves were quite heavily used.

Hmmm, I wonder if The Dispatch writer thinks about this article that completely contradicts what he wrote?
