[sustran] Re: Driving Forces-further thoughts

[Kerry Wood]

Hi everybody

Following up on Walter Hook's comments on James Dunn's book

I think there IS some subsidy to drivers in supermarket parking lots:
Drivers pay the same shop prices as non-drivers, so the non-drivers are
subsidising parking. However, this effect is only large if most shoppers
are non-drivers, and by then it doesn't matter much...


But I shan't be buying the book: Thanks Walter
