thats a discussion of the proposed zoning code revisions in DC. Yes, some of those arguments are good.

At this time the commonwealth does not beleive that induced trips are of zero value, or that the reality of induced trips makes additional road capacity of zero value. Indeed, if you claimed that people moving farther out to be able to live on quarter acre lots more cheaply was of zero value, quite a few people would find you to be threatening "their way of life" some of those would attribute that to a global conspiracy. The rest however would simply say that you are ignoring real benefits they have, that are valued in the market place.

If you care to lobby Richmond on this, go ahead. If you think people arent already trying, including the piedmont environmental council, the Coalition for Smart Growth, the Sierra Club, and others, you are mistaken. But politics is what it is - and virginia is what it is. Making arguments HERE isnt going to change that.

meanwhile, again, the Alexandria City Council has to make policy decisions with the $$ theyve got. I know they are focused on corridor concepts, and they may be looking at something like what Alex B proposes. And if the bugs are REALLY worked out of Nextbus, then they should look at the cost of implementing it for Dash.
