Nickels has an opinion piece in the Times that I think is worth reading for great quotes like this:
Federal transportation policy must reflect the obvious climate benefit of linking mass transit and regional development.
We need to encourage density, so the biggest commute decision in the morning is which pair of shoes to wear on the walk to work or transit.
Past federal housing and transportation policies transformed American cities, and not always for the better. We need to break the outdated pattern of highway and sprawl and respond to the needs of the 120 million new Americans expected to live here by 2050.
Emphasis added. Read the whole thing.

That really IS my biggest commute decision.
Mine is whether I can get up early enough to get to the bus stop before the last capitol hill 545
Nickels ought to try walking to work -- maybe then his fat ass wouldn't take up so much space.
What a hypocrite.

Do you have any opinion at all about what Nickels wrote, or did you just want to stick with the childish ad hominem attack?
No real substance to add. Just like his/her/it's other comment about ST in the post above. Best to just ignore him/her/it.
