Traffic Sucks

One of my pet peeves like most everybody else in this world is traffic. It seems like there is no way to get away from it. One might think that this is caused by the influx of all the people to an area but Dad says different. I believe that this is caused by the way cities and work places are laid out. Enter the industrial complex. What do you suppose would happen if you built a complex that houses all the workplaces and you make it accessible by one or two arteries; well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Since all the communities are built around this complex all the people drive down the same roads at the same time everyday to get to work. Imagine if factories and offices were spread out all over the county; one person goes this way and another that way ; nobody jamming the same artery day in and day out. The concept of the industrial parks wasn't for convenience it was to put money in the coffers of greedy land developers (that's a rant for another day). Well dad says, ride a bike, walk, work from home anything but drive in traffic.

Nice rant, dad. Hopefully, this will serve as a good outlet for you so that we don't have to hear about all these rants at home. Rant on!

Hi Puff--I'm reading your blog! I appreciate this rant since I sit in traffic on I-88 every day...
