Re: Housing starts a.k.a. land attrition

The real problem is the "addiction to oil" and our being brought up in a 
world where there was "no limit" on the supply of gasoline at the station.

We moved farther and farther away from the cities, built more and more 
highways, built huge "box stores" all on freeway, and driving distances
from 
home and work.  Our dependancy on single occupancy vehicles, and trips to 
the store for a "carton of milk" or such......will all come to an end.
Too bad with our resources a viable source of "trans****tation for the
many" 
was not ever conceived....
I am not the "Pot calling the kettle black either"  I drive a diesel
pick-up 
and use it for my work.  When I bought the truck in 1999 diesel was about 
1.65 a gallon.  It is now 4.17..................Higher than gasoline.
Truckers are having to fill up with 1000.00 dollar bills!
The cost of freight, airlines, mail delivery, milk, flour,  all is going
up. 
Just the other day the price of rice worldwide went up 30%  (fuel cost
rise)

There needs some serious attitude change and especially in the 
Government.........
We the People need some leader****p, to help right this train that fell off

the tracks.......
All of us are in this together, and the sooner we realize the problem, the

sooner we can and should come up with solutions......
Trans****tation, and our lifestyle are the biggest factors.......
just some thoughts.........oh well.
