Running out the door to catch a ferry

I have no time to blog today but regular correspondent Grant Gough found this article about my most frequent source of news in Adbusters

Old but hauntingly familiar

Who am I and what is this

I am a transportation economist and regional planner, displaced from England by the abolition of the Greater London Council and a dislike of Thatcherism. Until March of 2004 I worked for the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority on wide variety of policy issues. I have long advocated sensible policies to better integrate transport and land use. And this blog is a way to keep up the pressure! It also allows me to vent a bit on related issues.
