OK, last post on this, I promise (or, I think, at least). It looks like Congress is rejecting a bid to bail out the Big 3 US automakers. I'm positive this is a result of my letters to my Congressional representatives.
Assuming the White House doesn't work some magic and figure out another bailout plan, we can count on some serious changes in the US auto industry. There will be some layoffs, selling off of brands, major discounting.
What I'm hoping to see, though, is continued, reduced auto sales. In addition, I'm hoping to see an increased interest in public transportation - both in adding to the existing network and increasing ridership.
Maybe it's a pipe dream, but I can hope...

Heya Matt,
Mary sent me the link. Interesting blog! I got my degree in urban policy and planning, but then "went country" for over a decade until I ended up here in Honolulu. Anyway, thought you might like some of Britt's dad's comments--I wish I could get you the audio, he's such an amazing speaker especially on urban issues. Anyway, check him out: http://www.explorefaith.org/Homily05.19.00.html.
Take care, and happy holidays!
