<< This is the kind of "argument" that keeps the "green" message from being heard. If you want to change behavior, give people an alternative they can live with rather than demonizing their current choice. Would I take mass transit to work if I could? Yes. Can I today? No. I live in South Minneapolis and work currently on the east side of Downtown St. Paul. It would take me 3 times as long to get here on the bus compared with driving. Driving gives me additional time *with* my family, so I can't see how my family is being destroyed. Being able to drive to work has also given me the opportunity to significantly increase my income. >> Dear sir, I propose that you change your behavior. Move, you and your family, closer to where you work. You will mitigate the effects of sprawl by the tiny but important increment of one family unit. And you won't have to rationalize, or be torn by, your behavior. You will also be helping your new neighborhood by spending that enhanced income you referenced, in the area that it was earned. Good luck in your new home, Keith Reitman, NearNorth, oft reminded how "absentee-landlord" can be used like spit. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
