Auto disincentives are not incentives like the ones that you are talking about. In fact you give no clue as to what kind of incentives there might be. The people in those countries have VERY little choice regarding their dwellings. Faced with housing shortages after world war two, they had to...

So I see you have identified two extremes. Something in-between them is perhaps better.

It's an on and off stage. Since my last post in on the previous page it has been in off troll mode. And you really should respond to that post. Excuse me, but europeans are not responsible for everything that is going wrong in the underdeveloped world. I did not criticize it for not giving...

My last post in the topic was not a troll post. You clearly think that money comes out of our your know what... getting more people means having to build more infrastructure. Where's the money for that? Where? Not just infrastructure, but loads of things... see the points in the last post...

Where's yo map from?

I'm really contemplating if I should make a ridiculous post or a more normal post... Screw that idea. Really, screw that idea. Why the hell should we sacrifice ourselves for the problems of others on the other side of the world??? Places where half the population lives on a dollar or...

I don't get why it must be 300 million per km. I suggest doing it personal metro style. We could all pitch in and get the thing done in 20 years.

I think that he looks at the situation as in more density = more subway growth. Yet in reality Toronto is a region in which we should not want to have 10 million people. The strain on resources would be quite significant. And worse yet, the toll that so many new people would take on the...

Your obscenity with promoting the views of an eurocentric bigot have gone too far. http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst;jsessionid=MnPS0NJ0RKhb4myM6hfWzMphK01Qyz2DzX5nkhTxvvZtGYtBqQYY!-289140146!122306455?docId=5001894820 But why bother with just a preview... ...here, I got the whole...

The BBC reported the collapse of the towers 23 minutes before it happened. Clearly some bad shit is going on. As for the pentagon video - many other surveillance videos were confiscated- of hotels and gas stations.

The guy is an idiot, with his notion that the creative class is what makes cities better than others. The fucker has very little respect in the academics. It's the business class that likes him and keeps him going. http://halliejones.com/Resources/Strugglingwiththecreativeclass.pdf That there...

Like stuffing them all into corbusian highrise towers? Actually I find this all quite entertaining. Islam today is a repressive anti-demogratic dictatorship, that's more like it. Guns, Germs and Steel is a bullshit bigotry book that aims to justify the western pillaging of faraway...

I envy them.

This topic annoys me, because we have heard and seen many times what we think. So I won't even bother to waste my time repeating what I would like to see. Most development along yonge came with coordination of rapid transit and development. It had nothing to do with the streetcar, but with...

Would you at least agree that major inequalities are there and are not going away anytime soon? Would you agree that the cities get the overwhelming bulk of development funds, while peasants in the countryside are screwed? In most peril the indigenous, who barely manage to make a meal living off...

What's going on sheppard right now? Have they put any rails down or what?

Typo there. *frown* Could you forgive me? *sob* I meant to say transit incentives and auto disincentives. Comparing sweden and the US... 80% petrol tax vs 25% petrol tax... 58% new car tax vs 8% new car tax. It's no challenge to guess which consumes more petrol per capita. But jee, I...

An excellent example of what is going on in india is this construction of a big damn. They displaced poor farmers, of a minority group and did not give a rats ass about their wellbeing or survival. Who cares for those mofos is more or less the official policy. A woman activist tried to help them...

From what I know this guy has not proposed any plan whatsoever, and it does not look like he will in the near future. So, I think that he should be disregarded until he says what's on his mind. Heck, from all that we know he might fill in half a line with concrete, so why would I bother to think...

Transit City is the biggest slap in the face to man in a long time. One of the biggest problems with the plan is that it does not coordinate development with transit. This coordination should be vital, and centerpiece. But it is not. Sure there is money for a metro. The plan is to build a 13...
