Despite the depressing news that republicans now control the Congress, there was at least one positive outcome of the recent election. Votors in Northern Virginia defeated the proposed transportation sales tax increase. It would have mostly funded new road capacity. Building new road capacity would in effect send the message to all those single-passenger SUV commuters that it's OK to foul our air, we'll keep building more roads. Instead, we're going to have to come up with some creative solutions, such as telecommuting, car pooling, bike commuting, and using public transit. And maybe now people will think twice before moving so far away from their jobs.
