Can anyone tell me about the post office training? Do they pay for your hotel when you go to training? And can I bring my husband with me to the hotel?
nothing that cant be solved by our wise central planners.
Maybe if I sing their praises high enough, they'll grant me a cell... er uh apartment with a view

or a brownstone where you are in walking distance so you aren't burning OIL, and your community actually does not look like crap
Oh wait I forgot, actually making your towns and cities look good is EUROPEAN. How about we make everything look like unsustainable crap whose designers built the entire place as cheap as they could for the most bang for their buck. Yeah That's the American way
And finally, get back to me after you have the knowledge to realize that new-urbanists are pushing for the exact opposite of commie blocks in an dehumanizing setting. How about you actually learn something about urban planning, learn who LeCorbusier and the early modernists were, and then look at what he actual new-urbanists have in mind.
high rise commie-blocks and sprawl (what the new urbanists want to put to an end)
What the new-urbanists actually want to build (not your misconception about what they want to destroy)
Mass transit is not funded by riders. It's hugely subsidized by everyone.
Mass transit != "railroads." Railroads are the giant enterprises that maintain the rail track and operate hundreds or thousands of trains daily: Burlington Northern Santa Fe; Kansas City Southern; Conrail; etc.

Topic drift is simply amazing - we start with "should we build high speed rail?" and we end up with "post office training".
It would actually be cheaper to fly every california to Japan, ride a real hsr there, then fly them all back, then build the "hsr" in California that relatively few people would use, will be slower and more expensive than air travel. All while the state of California doesn't have enough money to house its prisoners or adaquitly fund its court system.
Sounds good, wish we would begin with high speed rail in the Northwest as well. It would be nice to be able to catch a train reducing the travel time between Portland and Seattle.
