???? Why does "only two options" come into this? Even in the real world of
politics, people with limited imaginations and inability to divorce their
cars there are more than two options, and... I just think someone is
playing a joke on us. We are in cul-de-sac of ideas, which is full of cars
because we agreed that cars could go off street but then people got more
cars.. and guess where they have to be parked? Can we at least not talk
about this anymore, unless someone pulls a spreadsheet out of their ear
and tell us what is more sustainable?

Todd, no, not that Todd, this Todd
