Its definitely long range. If we can somehow snag the Olympics, hopefully that will get on the fast track, as well as the Circle line for the L.

The Dutch example is a really good one. The Netherlands has done a great job of creating new suburban development that balances green space with appropriate density for mass transit. Of course, they are also limited by the fact that they often need to fill and drain land to make it habitable, so that probably helps them.
I would like to see an urban growth boundary managed by a regional planning authority with teeth. Portland established these in the 70s, and it has really helped that entire metropolitain area develop in a more responsible fashion. |

Yeah, there's never an explanation why it's different for white ethnics. Most of the current residents of Humboldt are too young to remember when it was Their ethnic group that came in and displaced the people who lived there before them. My great-uncle owned a Beautiful house directly across the street from Humboldt. I visited often as a kid and it was, most assuredly, Not Puerto Rican. EVERY ethnic group gets displaced by another. . .the beat goes on.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...ck=1&cset=true The legislative deadlock over state funding for mass transit may jeopardize federal dollars for major commuter rail improvements in the Chicago region, two Illinois congressmen and the head of Metra warned Tuesday. Illinois could lose up to $1.5 billion for the proposed expansion of Metra service, including the suburb-to-suburb STAR line; SouthEast Service to South Cook and Will Counties; and expansion of the Union Pacific Northwest and West lines into McHenry and DuPage Counties, U.S. Reps. Mark Kirk and Melissa Bean said. YAY! ![]() |

I feel like this state is hell-bent on cutting of its nose to spite its face.
