Thanks Eastside for bringing up this topic. <br /> <br />I've never had a car (78 yrs old) but instead of forcing people out of their cars we should control the growth process to prohibit new urban-suburban development that's inaccessible and dysfunctional for people who cannot, should not or just don't want to drive. I think we're violating everybody's right to life with a planning process that can force us to depend on modes of transportation so dangerous that they require seat belts, air bags, crash helmets or whatever. I don't know or care if this will get enough people demanding public transit to justify more rail service but I can still manage to fall asleep on what many might refer to as an "uncomfortable" bus. <br /> <br />Redevelopment agencies and other urban revitalization efforts will never stop the decline of cities and mass transit unless we find a constitutionally sound way to stop development "for motorists only." Many of us love to drive, but it's still a privilege. The courts remind us consistently that it is not the equivalent of our right to travel.
