[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will always drive.  Encouraging bike fanatics to share road space during peak traffic times - and I am talking specifically about bike fanatics, this is a nuisance and dangerous IMO.  If you live in DC, take metro and/or walk to work.  Bike miles on a bike path.

My vision is also to stop unchecked growth.  Stop building and building more density that cannot be supported by current transportation and school systems and other government services.  [/quote]

So expand outward into suburbs/exurbs rather than increase density and then we all drive?

What are your thoughts on how that impacts the environment?[/quote]

Adding high density housing doesn't magically transform anyplace into a car-less paradise.  It adds more cars and smog[/quote]

Ok I'm still trying to understand what happens to the environment in your vision.  Or are you not concerned about climate change?[/quote]

My vision is not make believe where we can add more people without adding impact.

My vision is also not make believe about, for example, receding ice.  It's been receding for thousands of years and we cannot stop it.  We should instead plan for it to happen.  What will we do?

Finally, I am an environmental activist.  I don't just virtue signal here or on FB.  I'm boots on the ground, ok?  I have major wins.  So you can sit down with your snark [/quote]

I'm really curious now what you mean by environmental activist.  It's hard for me to understand the nihilism along with that.[/quote]

Imagine projects your hear communities fighting on TV and newspaper.  Something like that.  And I'm not a minion either.  [/quote]
