Have you always suffered from an inability to recognize sarcasm?[/quote] Not when it is sounds ignorant and bigoted.[/quote]

Speaking of ignorant....   (np)

I think it's a great idea!  I already bike to work (VA to DC) once or twice a week so I'm prepared. :D[/quote]

ALL RIGHT, and then when you have to take your two kids to day care, and then stop off at the grocery store after picking them up.  Two trailers on your bike?  Plus twin racks up front?  And some heaters for your three year olds when it 20 degrees out with 12 inches of snow?

What a great idea.

If you are going to do urban planning, you have to think of people other than yourself.  [/quote]

Also, there's smaller institutions everywhere. For instance, my friends live in Brussels with HH income of 250K Euro. The creche for their baby is two blocks away. The tram stops one block away (you can take it everywhere in the city). Bakery, small grocer, deli, etc are all within a three block walk. It's feasible to hit all those places on a daily basis, even with a kid in tow.

In America, we build BIG. One giant grocery store to serve a 1 mile radius, so it becomes impossible to walk there and you're required to do one big trip every week.[/quote]
