Okay, so this is a bit alarmist, but it's a pretty good article in Business Week.
I was struck last week when the city knew that gas was going up by 6 cents, and cars were lined up four and five deep at the stations (idling all the while, of course). It could be a vision of things to come as gas prices will continue to increase well into the summer.

You know, it's funny.. but this is exactly why I chose to live within the heart of any city I've worked in. In Halifax I was a walk and a direct ferry ride away. In Edmonton I live in an apartment 3 blocks from work. I think that not only does it lessen your footprint, but it also helps you appreciate how much money you save by not to own a car. In both instances I've lived either a short bus ride (Halifax) or directly next to a mall (Edmonton). People think my lifestyle is strange, but hey, I'm not the one choking on high fuel prices ;)
