There are so many ways to get into downtown. That would create crazy traffic.
What they should do instead is toll entry into California via major highways for non-residents.
Non residents are not an issue - they are not around much. Even when they are in traffic, their habits different from the masses of residents doing their normal day to day activities and so it won't affect anything to get them off the roads.
If you want to make a difference in traffic you MUST do something about locals. That something may also be helpful for non-residents, but that is a side effect.
Anytime someone talks about non-residents it is safe to assume they are trying look like they are doing something without having to make any change to their own life.
I’m thinking more about revenue, and you are right, I would rather have non-residents increase revenue rather than me.
