Re: Why Do People Oppose Development? - Atlantic Mobile - http://m.theatlantic.com/nationa...
"The traffic conversation always has the risk of turning into the old "it's so crowded, nobody goes there" cliche. But the fact is, the traffic isn't just caused by the *new* people. You're just as responsible for the traffic as they are. The people driving next to you might have moved there later, but that doesn't make them less entitled to the road. So they used to live in Rockville and were stuck on 270 every morning for two hours, now you're both stuck on 476 for an extra 5 minutes. Seems like a win to me."

"But really, is that true? I lived in Alexandria 15 years ago and remember the same fears. When I go back now I see vast increases in business and housing, but driving seems no worse. Sure, DC traffic sucks, but is there any actual evidence of a tipping point? It's not like it would kill people to combine their trip to Trader Joes with a trip to Panera instead of making two separate trips. I suspect that's exactly what people do."

But what about all these hippy-dippy Real World anarchists who think meatspace can remain immune to the rules any well-managed virtual community understands to be essential? How is it, for instance, that citizens are physically capable of injuring each other, regardless of whether they’ve opted in to player-versus-player? And what fool designed it... - http://mikewebkist.tumblr.com/post...

"Why is parking even a question? Let them pay a garage to store their car. Let them park a mile away. Why is that the building's problem?"

How any of these people can even look in the mirror, behold the oozing, limitless intellectual dishonesty, and not want to smash what they see is truly mystifying to me. - http://mikewebkist.tumblr.com/post...

Starting with near zero space capability in 1961, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) put men on our companion world in eight years. Yet despite vastly superior technology and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsequent spending, the agency has been unable to send anyone else farther than low Earth orbit ever since. Why?... - http://mikewebkist.tumblr.com/post...

We always want to reward art for being innovative, but most artistic innovations are not designed to hold up over time. They exist as temporary reactions to other things happening within the culture. And that means they will seem goofy and dated when the culture changes again. - http://mikewebkist.tumblr.com/post...
