[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would it take? A multinational corporation to relocate a large office to within 15-30min bike ride of my house in a county that is extremely harsh on taxes. Also would need to be between 50-70 degrees that only happens about 15% of the year. So, basically it would take a miracle, which is why this bike stuff is so dumb [/quote]

That says a lot about you and not much about "bike stuff".[/quote]

PP is right. All the bike planning makes no sense unless we start building complete communities that have plentiful jobs at all income levels and housing at all levels of affordability. We spend a lot of time on housing but not much in jobs. Like where are all these people going to work? Right now the answer to that question is Tysons. It’s hard to bike there from NW or Silver Spring. Bike trails and bike lanes won’t change that much. [/quote]

Everyone will work in Tysons? And nobody will make any trips at all, except to and from work (in Tysons)? No. Yes, we need better land use policies, better housing policies - and better transportation policies. All at once. [/quote]

Personally, I have no interest in living, working, and playing in the same area.  Sounds boring and stifling.  [/quote]
