Paul: my wife can now travel from Eastmoreland to Washington Square Mall in only a few minutes longer than it takes her to get from Eastmoreland to downtown. That is a big problem.
JK: No it is not a problem. It is good that she is able to have more choices as to where to shop and select the best deals. That is improving her standard of living through efficient transportation. (Something Portland’s planning masters don’t get)

Thanks
JK
