All groups have confirmed attendance, hope to see everyone tonight!

“Living in close proximity to schools, shopping, and business hubs doesn’t just save you from sitting in traffic. Depending on the locale, highly “walkable” homes sell for $4000 to $34,000 MORE than their car-centric counterparts.”
Ann Arbor, Chattanooga, Kirkland WA, and Huntersville NC are all cited. All have strong new urbanist influences.
This isn’t the first time I have read info similar to this. I’ve read in the past that homes in such areas have also retained more value in the downturn, over their car-centric counterparts.
Obviously this is something Peoria is not very interested in, despite steeply falling tax revenues.
I am pretty sure there is a trademark violation in that poster. I hope the Discovery Channel sues them for everything their worth.
Mahkno — good information! Thanks.
Is there a link to that article on the web somewhere?
One subject that these groups conveniently avoid: Plastic and aluminum containers.
How easy would it be for the state to mandate shatterproof glass and paper drink containers for pop, milk, juice, and water. Ban plastic and aluminum drink containers and negate the need to recycle in the first place. Problem solved (or at least reduced significantly).

Waste products? Do you mean our city council?
