That's not at all surprising. Gas prices have been far too low for ages, particularly in the US (and oil producing countries in general). After all: why use public transport when cars and gasoline are so cheap and comfortable...

And isn't always the best idea.

That image speaks the truth. I remember the last time I took the Dallas city bus and ended up inside of Bergen-Belsen KZ.

When the state has the power to give you everything, it also has the power to take it away from you. A car isn't just a metal box to drive around in, it's the preservation of individual freedom. Tell yourself that the next time you're stuck in traffic for 2 hours.

Yes, so get on your Volkswagen and drive around your newly minted Autobahns! Cause we know the Nazi's hated cars and the freedom they gave the Volk. We all remember Hitler's favorite mode of transport:



Damn, I thought it was a train engine.....

I'm stuck in traffic because road funds are being siphoned off to pay for these little toy trains and other pet projects of the new urbanists. I'm sorry, but you have no idea what the defense budget is do you? Or how rich people are in this country?

And I don't think 10 lane highways are really the answer anyway.

The Nazis increased car production by an amazing amount.

New Yorkers should realize that the world does not revolve around them.

just artificially expensive. No, it is as expensive as the market makes it - in fact, the government in this city does as much as it can to keep street parking chaper than it would be if the free market were allowed to be brought into bear. So no, having a car in NYC is not artificially expensive - in fact, it is probaly more in line with true market forces than anywhere else in the US.

Gepap,

What do you know about this tax on taxi drivers that I've been hearing about? It sounds unfair to me, but I've only heard the taxi driver side. I haven't seen anything about new taxes being levied specifically on cab driver.
