We all know someone who thinks paying 50%+ of take home salary on “owning†a house is a good idea.
suits the banks...
Brand , dont forget about the real hooligans :the Arabs and Africans in France. Perhaps hundreds of Parisians were recently assaulted on public transportation by Arabs and Africans. Just like the US?
Different Sean, thanks for the Oppenheimer link. A lightweight relative to the other physicists of his time (Teller, Szillard,etc). Lawyers responsible for the safety of citizens??? Please. Judges routinely release child molesters because of technicality or carelessness.
Eburbed, I believe I qualified my comments with the Manhattan exception. But it is Giuliani's subway crackdown that led to the revitalization of Manhattan and its public transport. With that said, I refuse to take the subways-not secure enough for me. Only travel with car service or taxi in NY.

Paul asks:
For a new thread I’d be interested in hearing thoughts on transportation and how it impacts where we live. One thing I think about is if we could actually have REAL high speed rail in this country, perhaps that would open up more housing choice. It always blows me away when you can’t ride a train into the city center like when Amtrak drops you off in Emryville instead of SF. I thought at one point CA was leading the charge on this topic - http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/
