i wonder what would happen if all cities started charging a fee for you to drive in them?

london congestion charging

would make people think twice about driving, i would think. in the US the car is often the cheapest and the most convienent form of transportation. but we're not paying the 'real cost' of both gasoline and the environmental impacts of driving. unfortunately, in a consumer driven economy often the only way to change people is through the pocketbook. it'll be interesting to see what happens in london with this new policy...

speaking of driving...i'm headed back to north carolina...3 more months, until may...long long drive. if anyone is bored... 916.802.9220. :P finally got a new phone that works.

i should be back saturday. :) back on the computer, that is.
