If you don't pay, they'll cut off your rain

Also, just think on it: why did the suburbs grow? People were tired of the crime, the corruption, the crappy schools, and the taxes in most metropolitan areas. So they created and moved to the 'burbs. Sure, and lots of cities such as NYC came back strong. It is next to impossible to find a building lot in my area because lots of folks got tired of the "burbs". This mentality is easily expressed in the bridge tolls for San Francisco (Golden Gate, Oakland Bay, etc.). There's a toll to drive INTO San Francisco, but it's free to leave. Or common sense. Lots of areas toll bridges one way because statistically the great majority of drivers will go both directions. |

It is next to impossible to find a building lot in my area because lots of folks got tired of the "burbs". Agreed. Most who live in NYC, love to live in NYC. But New York City is a special case, as is San Francisco and maybe Tupelo, Mississippi. The same cannot be said of Detroit or Washington or Oakland or .... Well, you get the idea. There's even an idea being floated to simply bulldoze up to 40% of Flint, Michigan and turn the area demonstration area for "Life After People". http://motorcitytimes.com/mct/obama-...ions-of-flint/ This mentality is easily expressed in the bridge tolls for San Francisco (Golden Gate, Oakland Bay, etc.). There's a toll to drive INTO San Francisco, but it's free to leave. Or common sense. Lots of areas toll bridges one way because statistically the great majority of drivers will go both directions. You're right, it does makes sense. But then why are there tolls BOTH ways on roads like the Pennsylvania Turnpike? |
