Ted, I'm used to cities like NYC, DC, and Seoul where mass transit is plentiful and readily accessible. Having said that, I find your comments about LA and Portland having good mass transit to be curious. LA's subway system is still very abysmal. There are above ground bus and train lines that go along highways like the 105 and the 110, but that's not nearly enough. As for Portland, there's just two light rail lines. Granted the light rail has become centers of development, but that's still very light (no pun intended). I agree that most cities here, when it comes to mass transit, pale in comparison to modern European cities like Paris and Munich. Especially Munich, whose population I believe is between that of Portland and Seattle. Now they have a really extensive rail network. Tenchusatsu
