Accurate historical facts. However, it's also accurate to say that traffic's only going to get worse in other cities if living patterns don't change. > Most cities have horrible downtown communities. Some exceptions are: I would actually add Atlanta to that list. It does lack good non-car transport in most of intown, but is getting better. It's not yet a community you can live in comfortably without a car, but it's getting there. A big upcoming project will link most of the existing intown communities using paths and trollys. Even in San Diego I sometimes go for 4-5 days without using my car. I choose to live in a urban area, and I don't really have to deal with traffic as much as a result. > And even then, it's really expensive. It's simply cheaper to commute. That point is arguable. > And even if it isn't, living downtown sucks for me. Like I said, personal choise - you (potentially) choose traffic. -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:5:178138 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
