[Carfreeliving] Will LA leapfrog San Francisco?

[Brinkman, Cheryl]

 Loved the Long Emergency, more for his de-bunking of the ability of any
currently available technology to replace our current fossil fuel situation
then the doomsday scenarios.  Although those are fun to contemplate as well.
The image of falling down big box stores and ghost town suburbs is very
compelling.

Makes me think the Amish have the right idea, the Long Emergency won't
affect them very much - I wonder if they use chemical based fertilizers or
are organic?

I think the Market Street bike lanes should be in the middle, like that
proposed one for the bridge in NY - that way no buses turning across the
bike lanes, no double parking, it could even be fenced off so there would be
no worries of cars at all.  You could only enter and exit the lanes at
intersections, but it would really speed things up for bikes.

What about a bike lane on Wilshire? That would put LA
ahead of San Francisco!

I am reading "Long Emergency" by Kunstler. Anybody
read it?
