I will help you.  The 1% pay 40% of the taxes and the top 10% pay 70% of the taxes.  I’m saying the vast majority of the top 10% want to drive to work in their air conditioned car.  They’ve worked hard and have earned this luxury.  You may know a few HHI people who like to ride their bikes or crowd into a smelly METRO car, but they are the exception.  If you make the commutes hellish for those 10%, those folks ain’t coming to work downtown. Restaurants will fail, commercial real estate will fail, small businesses of all types will fail. [/quote]

Shorter PP: I prefer to drive and believe that society should be structured around this preference.[/quote]

There's 360,000 cars registered in DC. There's approximately seven 25-year old white guys in DC who are really into bike lanes. Maybe we should do majority rules? [/quote]

The majority of people in DC don't drive to work, my dude.  I believe the number is around 40%.

You're welcome to come up with whatever rules you'd like in your own sofa fortress.  It has no bearing on reality here, which is: more and better bike / pedestrian infrastructure.[/quote]

The majority of people in DC don’t actually work at all, so this is not actually surprising.   [/quote]
