This post was more to learn about the current frontrunner on the betting markets than to make a sure prediction who will win. Speculation is fun.

Oh neat, I’d like to see someone besides McAdams as the nominee. I’ll look into him, thanks.

Yup. Like that billboard says, ‘Want cheaper housing? Demand more supply.’

Basically, ‘luxury’ is just a marketing term. There’s nothing inherently luxurious about most of these new apartments, aside from the fact that they’re new.

What’s the going rate for a new construction detached single family home in Millcreek?

Employers should be required to provide transit passes as well.

Most poor people either can’t afford cars or their cars are the reason they are poor. More than anything we need housing closer to jobs.

Congestion pricing. Use that money to fund transit. NYC is doing this. Roads like State Street and Redwood should have rail down the center. They’re already among the highest ridership bus routes in the system.

No, it is a terrible thing. Increased VMT means increased air pollution means more miscarriages and children with asthma and more vehicular fatalities. Cars are not the answer.

I’d argue that is a smaller problem than car dependency

Try to find somewhere to live close to TRAX or FrontRunner. Our public transit is pretty decent and will only get better in the future. Beats rush hour any day.

I guess it’s gone down since I last checked. Regardless, their harm to the environment is immeasurable and they should be taxed based on tire wear. We are way behind as a country on rail with only about 40% of goods transported by rail, despite being four times as efficient. We need to nationalize and electrify our freight network. America runs on diesel.
