I'm sorry you had to be in Jacksonville. That is, by far, the worst place I have ever been.
Agreed. Pakguy, I think it's more what people want and are willing to pay for than it is the gov't. We don't want to live in neighborhoods anymore like in the 30's or 40's, with everything within walking distance. We had so much wealth for so long[[and cheap energy) that we became like the English upper class[[only with bad manners) just kidding. We have had people who are not really that well off financially, burning hundreds of gallons of gas per year just cutting their lawns, and driving every single place they go.They have to drive, there are no sidewalks, and it's 5 miles to the nearest place to get a loaf of bread.
