It is funny the home price are "collapsing" everywhere else (D.C. Metro area.) While here in the D.C. metro area they are merely not quite as expensive. I still can barely afford to buy a condo in Northern Virginia.

You sir are a heretic! Bailiff - take him away and lock him up.

Now then, where were we? Ah yes - light rail is good, and light rail is transformative is a green and inexpensive fashion.

Any other comments?

What does "zoomed" mean?

That's a very disingenuous apples-to-oranges Josh, New Market as a suburb was create contemporaneously with the red line, not before it.

Federal Way is not far-flung and already has 100,000 people.

This is a very ECB "See I told you so" non-post. Especially since you didn't say much of anything in the first place, and the facts don't support you now.

Zoomed is like p0wned, Fnarf, only more so. The zoomee doesn't even know they've been zoomed.

So, how to get the light rail without the roads then? Wait? What's the solution?

Tacoma and Bellevue aren't suburbs in the way that Reston, VA is a suburb. Your analysis was wrong then, and it's wrong now.

@7 - they just rip up the roads and put light rail in its place. Then they use the leftover road material to make gated walls around the ultra-rich and set them afire during the food riots.

Is it supposed to say "zoomed in on"? I'm just not getting the grammar here. Will, you're no help, as usual.

What made you think I was helping?

n00b (noun, Haxxor/Gamer)- refers to someone so short of a cluestick they can't even tell when they're being zoomed by somebody ...

The suburbs are falling, the suburbs are falling.

@9 Do not underestimate the ability of the ultra-rich to arm themselves, hire their own private army, and defend their 'burbclaves. And they'll hoard all the cereal straws too.
