GG toll is $5. All other bridges in the area are $3. You only have to pay in one direction. I don't see it as extortion. The toll money goes toward earthquake retrofits and new bridge construction. We don't want another Loma Prieta incident.

Oh, and SoCal will not fall anywhere. It's moving horizontally, not vertically, so it will eventually become an island.

I like small earthquakes. Energy released gradually = less energy stored up.
