The Antiplanner (along with co-author Jeff Judson) has an op ed in the San Antonio Express News on what San Antonio should do now that it has given up on the streetcar. My presentation to the San Antonio Tea Party on a similar subject is available for download as a 35-MB PDF.
At least some people in San Antonio think the city should adopt a smart-growth plan to deal with the million people who are likely to move to the area in the next 30 years. But roughly a million people moved to the area in the last 30 years without dire consequences (except for the congestion that resulted from planners’ obsession with rail transit while they ignored efficient solutions such as traffic signal coordination), so it isn’t clear why a new plan is needed.
Here are the speaking events I know about for the next few days. First, this afternoon (Monday, September 8), from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, I’ll be speaking about the Pinellas light-rail plan at a public forum at the IRB Sushi Restaurant in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
Age cialis online prescription is also one of the factors responsible for causing ED in men, but there are various physical and psychological factors you must know.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, September 9), the public is welcome to attend a debate between the Antiplanner and a local light-rail advocate that starts at 7 pm at the St. Petersburg Community Church, 4501 30th Avenue North, in St. Petersburg, FL. The rail advocates will argue that I have “an absolute lack of understanding of the needs of Pinellas County,” as if a low-density county with no concentrated job centers in which only 1.5 percent of commuters take transit to work somehow needs a $1.5-billion light-rail line more than anywhere else.
On Thursday (September 11), Americans for Prosperity will sponsor my presentation on Austin’s light-rail transit plan. The event will take place from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Marriott Downtown Austin, 300 E. 4th Street. If you are in the St. Petersburg or Austin areas, I hope to see you at one of these events.
I would comment about suicide by streetcar, but that’s ridiculous, and it would look like this.
Certain transportation fanatics in Portland got very angry when a respected Oregonian reporter named Joseph Rose decided to see for himself whether it was faster to walk or take the streetcar in downtown Portland. Walking won.
But- when you are a transit or bike evangelist- facts don’t matter.
On the plus side, the street car is a nice day use area for the homeless. But a little expensive for the taxpayers.
