Housing starts a.k.a. land attrition

I am speaking about "rural" meaning subdivisions 10 to 35 miles from urban
areas......
All over Calif. there are massive subdivisions that most have to drive,
anywhere from 10 to 60 miles to go to work and then when shopping comes it
is an easy 30 mile or more round trip......
I am not lieing....
Just making facts......
anyway......
I still lift heavy objects?
What is this about horses?
I am not sure where you are coming from.......

Most of the residents of such places work locally. Your imagination that
everyone commutes to a downtown is just plain wrong.

I take it you do not live in Calif. Drive down Hi.way 80..........Look at
the suburbs........now business's there.....
Drive up 101......Suburb between Santa Rosa and San Francisco.....
Why do you think they call these (bedroom communities) They sleep there and
then commute......
Commuting is the main source of home to work.......many, many miles......No
buses, no trains, just Big Cars, and gas guzzling Pickups with one driver
and no baggage.......
Anyway......I am wasting my breath......
We do have a problem with traffic, and highways, and commuting......Gas
prices are a sign, and like the tip of the ice-berg.......more to
come.........
Where do you get the idea that "most residents work locally" You must be
living in a dream.
whatever...."Fill er Up"

Yes, because, like a little kid, your world revolves around your own limited
horizon.

this quote, from you, ("Most of the residents of such places work locally.
Your imagination that
everyone commutes to a downtown is just plain wrong.")
shows who's world is revolving around a limited horizon..........
look out your window.........
Just got back from Hawaii.......You want to see traffic problems!
this is about fuel, and waste, and trying to figure out better ways to move
people.....
I am not sure where you are coming from.............
