It's totally a factor of congestion in US cities. Most people in the US wants their own car, and their own one acre lot in the suburbs. Cities like Atlanta and LA are so spread out and sprawling that it's getting just about unbearable. I am constantly amused by people who complain so loudly about how horrid traffic is and then when I ask where they live, it's way out in the burbs with a job in downtown. Cities like New York know how to deal with congestion and lots of people, and it's not to keep building out further and further into the wilderness. Atlanta has some of the worst traffic in the US (no 2 behind LA last I checked), yet for the last several years I lived there I hardly ever encountered traffic. Why? I lived downtown and worked downtown. Traffic and congestion are not something imposed on us all by some unknown force, it's something each of us individually choose when we choose to live and work in certain areas. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:178114 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
