The darling of the soi-disant new urbanists and the soi-disant local would-be (maybe) radicals just voted down providing puny new money to upgrade a flailingly, pathetically decrepit bus fleet.

As I’ve said before, don’t believe the hype.  Apparently, creaming your pants for single-speeds and cyclocross isn’t enough to make even a tiny dent in corporate capitalist priorities and advantages.  Turns out, it might actually require thought, work, and sacrifice.

Sorry, Portland.  You ain’t half what you and your faint praisers think you are.  Not even close.
