Your commute is getting worse because the people who run your local government do not want you to drive your car. So they do not maintain the infrastructure, they do not invest in growth. They are densifying existing urban areas(claiming they want to stop urban sprawl) so there are more and more people living on less and less land in your area, therefore adding to the crowding on the roads. They are probably giving densification bonuses to developers and landowner so they no longer build single family homes but instead build 2 3 or 4 family structures on what was once home to a single family. They are probably only allowing permits to build on transit corridors (which increases the amount of people that use your highways) and they are probably building the soviet dream, transit hubs, where the shops are the main floor and there are 3 to 6 stories of apartments(not condos) on top of that. Transit hubs are located next to mass transit, and in some places your pledge to use mass transit instead of cars gets you lower rent or access to rent the apartment. They are implementing Agenda 21. They are recreating the lifestyle of the former soviet union and most Americans have no idea its happening.

Wow! That's about all the doom-n-gloom I can handle for the day. Actually, I live in New Hampshire, but my commute sends me about 25 miles into the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. They're about 2.5 years into a 3 year project to widen the entire 25 mile highway and they're doing a pretty good job, too.

To me, your post exemplifies everything that is wrong with America.

If "IT" is not happening to you, personally... it might as well not be happening to anyone!

DIVIDE AND CONQUER!!!.....Big Brother's simplest game.

I guess everyone now losing their jobs are INSTANT LIBERALS!!!

......and the prisons are ready for them.

We have all seen to that!!!!!!

So much for "ETERNAL VIGILANCE"..........
