Perhaps you haven't checked out rush hour in the D.C area; or how about Atlanta? People have moved way out, and I mean 40 to 60 miles out. No, I'm sorry, but because of many economic factors, people can't afford to live and work in the cities anymore. I'm all for public transportation but do you honestly think we'll get it with the Republicans in office?
