Blue states rock! Go public transportation
With all the talk of gas between $3-5 this summer, guess which cities are going to take it in the rear? Not surprisingly it will be those Red state cities where the citizens are going to be up shit creek, but hey, that's what you get when you elect semi-retarded oil men to run your country into the ground.
The top cities for sustainability in an energy crisis are as follows: 1. New York, NY 2. Boston, MA 3. San Francisco, CA 4. Chicago, IL 5. Philadelphia, PA 6. Portland, OR 7. Honolulu, HI 8. Seattle, WA 9. Baltimore, MD 10.Oakland, CA Notice anything? The worst ten cities are as follows: 41. Tulsa, OK 42. Nashville, TN 43. Arlington, TX 44. Memphis, TN 45. Columbus, OH 46. Virginia Beach, VA 47. Indianapolis, IN 48. Fort Worth, TX 49. Louisville, KY 50. Oklahoma City, OK Los Angeles ranks a surprising 19 out of 50. I for one have no sympathy for anyone in this country, Democrat or Republican who complains about high gas prices. How many decades do you have to be warned about a problem before you took steps to protect yourself? And more so for the Red states. If you elected retarded Republican oil men and allow pro-sprawl developers to take over your cities, you deserve to experience the full brunt of retarded energy policy and poor city planning. It also reminds me of all the talk we hear of "exurbs" or whatever and how they're quasi-Republican strongholds. If we experience gas > $5 gallon for extended periods those exurbs are going to be ghost towns, and the former residents aren't going to be forgiving towards the idiots who failed to plan for the obvious.

I'm surprised about Nashville's ranking. The MTA wasn't bad at all when I lived there, and it let me get anywhere for relatively cheap. It may have changed since then, but cities like Atlanta and San Diego were horrible when it came to public transportation. The routes didn't go anywhere you needed to be, and it was expensive.

Yeah, San Diego, where all the Republicans live in California.
There is also a tie here, unstated, between Republicans and bigotry towards blacks.
Areas that are staunchly Republican often don't want to have easy access to public transportation because they see it as being for poor people, and they're worried it will allow blacks to access their communities.
Case in point, I was in Atlanta for under 4 hours before I heard someone laugh at the idea of using the public transportation to get around and referred to the MARTA as "Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta."
Well, they reap what they sow. If they keep this shit up, the only people that will be able to get to work will be those they've discriminated against for decades. I for one, would celebrate such a wonderfully ironic turn of events.
