I've heard more "I wish we had..." comments in the last few months than ever before about a mass transit system. Since gas prices hit the $3 a gallon mark, it seems that people are finally being affected in a way they can feel it. As Oklahoma City is certainly a well-spread suburbia, with commutes stretching from Edmond to Tinker many times for my clients, it will be interesting to see how sustained high fuel prices could change my demographic spectrum from an employer standpoint. (Tinker and Chesapeake employees are my two largest demographics.)
From the article, which uses Long Island as a case-study:
What's potentially at stake here is our way of life - the suburban lifestyle that critics like to parody, but that an awful lot of people still find attractive.
