Whether working class, middle class, the friggin' sheriffs, students, homeless, et al, too many people here do not understand that expediency is the key, and not standing round like a bump on a log is the way to WALK. <BR/>I am thinking I should invite a commando team of city/Brooklyn straphangers over to demonstrate just how to negotiate the tramways and trains. I mean, for the second-largest "city" in the U.S., how is it that there is but one subway, a very few trains and yet no ability nor desire to attempt competently navigating the damned things?<BR/>But back to my primary point. It is not a matter of class, I argue, but something else. The majority of angelinos need to first learn how to not stand, stoop, impede, block and wander on the narrow sideWALKS.BusTardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984672872407701918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-13793282160913882152008-07-12T11:32:00.000-07:002008-07-12T11:32:00.000-07:00great post!

I was spoiled living in the Bay Area I guess having Muni/Bart/AC Transit etc.. It's sad that it takes $4- $5 gas to get people thinking alternatively.MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-6945826721459527362008-07-11T09:45:00.000-07:002008-07-11T09:45:00.000-07:00Hi Ladies,Sorry about the typo!
