Public Transportation and Smart Growth

Utter dependence on the automobile. Pollution belching lawnmowers, weedeaters, edgers, and blowers. People shut inside houses and behind privacy fences. Large shade that were once appreciated for their shade are being felled and not replaced now that everyone stays inside in air conditioning. Neglected dogs barking for lack of attention. All good, however, for the constant feeding of the consumption crazed economy.

House across the street is 100' away, but those next door are 15' from mine.

Right now, the cheapest place for me to live. Want though to someday find a better way. In the meantime, I walk, bike, and take DART (DallasAreaRapidTransit) when I can, and have eliminated the lawn in favor of a natural, semi-self-sustaining yardgarden.

I just joined...marmar I would like to read your personal thoughts...would hope to find others like-minded here as well.
