I've been thinking about this highway thing, after seeing all the images of
car-choked freeways, clogged partly by cars that have run out of gas.
Weren't these Federal highways supposed to be emergency paths for movement
of troops and so on? They're not working very well. I wonder if we'd, for
example, made those highways a couple lanes narrower and invested in mass
transit--light or heavy rail--along with those highways, how much easier it
would have been to get people out of the danger areas. Of course, they
couldn't have brought as much stuff with them....

Rob in Seattle, a city currently building light rail, finally....
