As a high school student, I completely agree with this article. I don't ever remember a single high school teacher of mine telling me "this is a skill that will help you in life," or "this is a skill that will help you get a job." We are told all ...

It seems like you are using the word reform the same way militant groups like stand for children use reform. To make it seem like their opponents are not for reform, while keeping their agenda out of the political sphere. (I.e. privatizing the school system through charter schools, tying teqcher ...

Here come the trolls... I for one respect Moyers as a person, and like to hear what he has to say. We are better as a nation because of his existence.

@Mspat Licensing bicycles has been tried, and its never worked. It costs more to run the system than you can take in from it. And bikers don't cause the same wear and tear on the road as drivers anyway. Most of us also have cars, so were paying for roads ...

@animalal. So light rail creates forced density, but neglecting public transit while subsidising highways doesn't create forced sprawl? Also, an extra fact for you to consider, over the last ten years, Seattle has accounted for a third of that growth, and in the current boom cycle that is beginning Seattle ...

Some people like the city, others the country. That's fine. The problem is when we spend the amount of money we currently spend taxing the other two to create suburbia. What makes the most sense are some places that are trullt cities, and some places that are trully rural. I ...

This isn't just an issue about the Roosevelt neighborhood. All of us are paying for the station, all of us will pay if the light rail line's operating costs go up because of lower than expected ridership, and all of us will have a harder time finding a home in ...

It would have been nice for this article to at least try for some objectivity. (Just for the record, I have no connection to any developers, and live about a 10 min walk from the station. This region is expected to take in another million+ people over the next 20 ...

Yes, we need to provide more transit in the city, but we also need to shift some road funding towards transit. For example: the tunnel project is more expensive than all the light rail we have so far, the slu streetcar, the first hill streetcar, all the rapidride we are ...

two extra notes regarding hsr All the proposed upgrades to the pacific northwest rail plan amounts to $3 billion, which is tiny compared to road spending. Also, despite higher readership here, Florida got more stimulus money for hsr. Florida also happens to be a swing state. Coincidence? A few answers ...

Typical anti transit smear. If a transit project is successful, that means we should cut funding to everything else. Every means of transportation is subsidized, and every means serves a purpose. No working transportation system around the world uses just one technology or another. What the writer is doing in ...
