wburg I tend to agree with your point of view more than I disagree but I just do not agree when you say: "midtown is one of the places where it's (public transportation) actually something like adequate." How so?

It's the size of the blocks, the density and mix-use development that makes Midtown walkable but there's almost no viable public transportation to support those on foot. When you say public transportation are you mostly talking about a bus right? Light rail only cuts across the southern half of Midtown and therefore for most of Midtown is only good to get out to the burbs. I also think additional buses and jitneys won't do the trick either. We need a rail line that cuts through the center of Midtown and a cross-town link. So, I will repeat: the nimrods here don't get it -Yet. If they really got they'd be talking about it and willing to pay for it.

By your question I take it wburg that don't see the need or appeal of highrise living?
