Ride an SUB not an SUV

And this IS the last reply directed toward that little world of yours.



My goodness you are having a bad day.
Downhill also puts the rear wheel above the front in the first place.
Not everyone has abrupt stops going downhill only. There are other kinds.
Too bad you can not hear anyone but yourself.
Can"t teach anyone anything that knows it all is the rule I guess.
You have bad manners as well. bye

About negative $100K.

Strange how the anti-urbanists in this forum just can't understand
that
the
reason the McMansions 30 miles from town are so cheap is that people
really
would rather have something in town - but can't afford it.

Nope, it's more a matter of supply than demand. There's far more space
in
the suburbs than the city.

The old cities are full. Besides, our population in the USA is
concentrating in fewer and fewer places as half of the counties lose
population. This is violent anti-sprawl behavior on the part of the
public.

Picturing the suburbs full of ravening executives...



Is that where you post your ravings from?

Major cities all have rush hours and off-hours. If anything is to
change, it is the nasty habit of wanting to be awake when the sun
shines,
and sleep when it is dark. Somehow we need a political program to
convince
us we are not animals.


We were cave people and that is where I biorythms come from even now.
A person on graveyard shift is more likely to get cancer because of it.


Factoid: We get about 1 hour less sleep each night now than they did 100
years ago.

Actually not. There' plenty of room in the city, but the developers can't
use production-line techniques.

The difference is more than made up for when living in town. Spend more
on the house and less (maybe nothing) on new cars, gas, insurance, etc.

Nope. Provided you stick to decent neighborhoods and similar square
footage, you can't make up the difference. The money you save on
those things is of a smaller order of magnitude than the extra money
you spend on the house. Add in the extra property and other taxes
you'll pay in the city and things get even worse.

You're wrong. Until recently, the issue is that banks would loan money on
suburban houses but not on city houses. Being able to eliminate one car
saves a family $6,000 per year - which adds up quickly.

That's rightard bull****. Nobody is trying to micromanage every aspect of
peoples lives -- except possibly Fundamentalist Christians.

Areas of the country to which people are moving need to abandon farming
and make room since our population is concentrating. It is nonsense to stop
a process which began in 1840. With half of our counties losing population,
that is the tragedy. In Durham with RTP was created, it is total nonsense
to have cows grazing within about 4 miles of the place. That is stupid
protection.

Much what? With half the counties losing population, it is silly to keep
horse farms for the rich as a tax-subsidized land scheme within a short
distance of RTP. Cows are not needed a few miles from RTP, although I do
enjoy seeing mules on the way home from work. We always look for them to be
out, even if the land is for sale.
