Detroit is already way out on the massive pension fund “bridge” loaned to them by their employees… all of the “Big 3” are BILLIONS under-funded in their union pension accounts and have been for years.

QUALITY, CONNECTED KITE SKIING - REVOLUTIONIZE OUR ECONOMY

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 15:07.

 

I am continuing my theme of kites driving the economy.   Today I introduce another type of kite - this kite is an exhilarating  transportation vehicle.   With fuel prices going up (which is good) our entertainment outlets will be modified.  Power boats will be the losers, and wind powered sports will be the winner (which is good).

TORONTO/ROCHESTER FERRY - A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR NEO OF "FAILING FAST"

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 16:40.


Cleveland's Port Authority has been spending money on "consultants" studying the feasibility of operating a ferry across Lake Erie to Port Stanley, Ontario. In 2004 Toronto was served by a fast passenger and auto ferry from Rochester, New York.  The Rochester-Toronto ferry service operated for one summer.     The photo above is the empty Toronto terminal - now occupied by a movie making business.

In 2007 Bill Callahan reported on the Cleveland ferry spending on his blog.  A 2006 report in the Painesville News-Herald outlines the complexity of setting up a ferry service - whether in Lake County or Cuyahoga County.

PARKS, NOT PARKING! A TRULY SUSTAINABLE AUTO

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 09:28.

There are people and organizations working on establishing a healthy view about automobiles.  In Toronto, Canada Streets are For People. org has created a brilliant crowd stopper - a CAR PLANTER!   

Almost everyone, me included, did  a double take as they walked by and noticed that the hood of the car was a lawn, the moon roof was hatching a healthy tree, and the trunk was full of rooted shrubs.  

The window glass makes it easy to see if the soil is moist or dry - every pot should be so well designed. 

"PARKS - NOT PARKING" one message proclaimed.

I am thinking of what model car I will use in Cleveland - anyone have a place to park the nursery vehicle?  

Here's the Mission Statement from the Streets are for People web site :

Mission Statement!

Since 2002, Streets are for People! has used costumes, trumpets, and big tricycles to liberate the commons from the mundane rule of that deadly beast — the automobile. We deliver the straight-up message that CARS SUCK, while creating the city we all want to live in, a comfortable place where laughter, romance, and dancing children fill the streets.
