re: BLOG: Fixed Costs on Tram Contracts and More Funding for Af
Long View and Now - Portland already has a much higher than normal number of "upper middle class" jobs.
If Portland wasn't so advantaged the Tram and other LRV, etc. projects wouldn't be getting done. It is tax money that pays for this stuff. Those "upper middle class" jobs are the ones who realy end up paying for this stuff.
Other than that, I'm glad someone finally noticed the development that occurs with streetcar development. :) That is awesome. I still think someone should have learned 120+ years ago with the fact that almost every city development was spreading right along with streetcar development.
With interstates and bus lines they all just shriveled up... and sprawled. :)
...needless to say,
Good Job Sam!!! Keep up the good work.
