?Get Jobs in Offices, and Wake Up For The Morning Commute?

Long commute? Good-bye O.C.
2008-08-06 09:05:00 If the folks at RREEF Research are right, O.C. may face an unanticipated challenge in attracting homeowners and tenants in the future: long commutes and lack of public transit. RREEF, the publishing arm of Institutional Real Estate, Inc., analyzed economic trends over the next five years and concluded that high gasoline prices, rising inflation and a declining dollar would lead to major behavioral changes that don’t bode well for suburban parts of O.C. Among the changes: “Long distance commutes have become costly, particularly for lower and mid-level employees. A short automotive commute, a commute by public transport, and even a walking or bicycling commute has become more appealing. Thus, demand will increase for residential locations with good access to employment centers and will decrease for peripheral suburban bedroom communities that are poorly served by transit.” Experts already have suggested that a tight rental market in North County may not just be ...
More Metro Problems
2008-06-11 18:27:00 For the third time in a week, Metro?s orange line was a mess during the evening commute. According to Metro?s press release (which was not online when I left the office at 5:00), the cause was a heat ?kink? in the rails that was discovered at 3:15 p.m. between the East Falls Church and Ballston Metrorail stations. A heat kink is a bend in the rails due to high temperatures. A heat kink?!? Kink is now a technical term?The release says continues by stating that trains are currently sharing a single track and that passengers should expect delays of 30 minutes or more. Shuttle buses are also available.Here was my commute home. I arrived at the Court House station at 5:00; waited for a few minutes for a train; boarded train; stood on train that did not leave the station for five minutes before hearing announcement that shuttle buses would take passengers from Ballston to the four remaining stops; exited the train to see when the next train was going towards DC (the opposite directio...

Metro Commuting
2008-06-10 08:10:00 It was been a rough few weeks for those of us who rely on Metro?s orange line to go to and from work. Last Wednesday, thunderstorms brought down a power line on the tracks between the East Falls Church and West Falls Church stations causing major delays as service was suspended. Even before I left the office, I received e-mail updates from Metro informing me of the outage and the notice that shuttle buses would be available at East Falls Church to take folks to the remaining three stops. Despite the many announcements we received from the train operator prior to arriving at East Falls Church, the station was a mess. There was no one to guide people to the buses or to give announcements with updates. Although I stood outside the station for over an hour, I didn?t move far enough to even see a bus. By then Metro service was restored, and I took my normal route home. The usual 50-60 minute commute took almost 2.5 hours! What I learned from last week?s experience is that we are ...

The Longer The Commute, The Harder Home Values Were Hit?
2008-04-22 00:01:00 National Public Radio (NPR) ran a story today that suggests that areas with longer commutes and the lack of a good mass transit system are getting harder hit than those areas closer in with a proper mass transit system. This story hits very close to those in Loudoun County considering the sharp decrease in home values and the proposed Dulles Rail project being dead in the water.

What's that commute costing you?
2008-04-17 02:19:00 The Tampa Tribune reports that Tampa Bay is one of the costliest places for commuting. A 2006 study by the Washington-based Center for Housing Policy said the region tied for the top spot among 28 major metropolitan areas when it comes to the percentage of income working families spend on commuting. According to the report, families in the Tampa Bay area earning $20,000 to $50,000 a year devote a third of their incomes to getting to and from work. That tied us with Pittsburgh and Kansas City for the highest commuting costs. Now there's a Web tool for counting the costs by neighborhood. The site was launched by the Center for Neighborhood Technology in partnership with The Brookings Institution. Go to http://htaindex.cnt.org then select the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater region and then choose a specific neighborhood. The "advanced" feature allows users to break down costs by "vehicle miles traveled." Fish Hawk residents, for example, commu...
Commuting in FlatLand - Apr 10
2008-04-10 14:44:00 This morning greeted me with 68 degrees f. and bright sunshine as I rolled out of the Casa for the Motorcycle Commute to Tampa. Right on the coast it was clear blue sky's but just a couple of miles inland there was a hazy lite fog rising. Traffic was heavy on both the surface streets as well as on the Toll Roads where it was painfully crawling along here & there for no apparent reason. The two FHP Cruisers that tend patrol the Suncoast Parkway / Veterans Expressway like to sit here in the mornings. It's just over the crest of a hill when heading Southbound so by the time you see them, they have you locked. I guess it's just the Thursday Crazies that make the cagers drive like idiots all bunched up on the Toll Roads. Oh Well, It's a beautiful FlatLand Spring Morning and hey, it's Florida outside!

Morning Commute
2008-03-03 19:53:00 On Monday mornings at 8am I have the privilege of teaching a Beach Pilates class right on the main resort beach. Mind you, I tried to sell the idea of a Grace bay beach Pilates class to every resort on Provo and NOT ONE went for it! In fact, I received a call the other day from the concierge at Grace Bay Club asking if I could teach Pilates to one of their guests. I replied, "Only if they come over to Parrot Cay on a day pass and book with me at the Spa!" Anyway, enough of that.If I do not have a private or anything immediately after class I love to walk home on the beach. Here are photos of this morning's 15 minute commute.This first photo is the view of the water at 9am when class was over.Then we have the long look at my destination (I live in central housing just left of the rocky point).And finally the point as I am closer to home.Not a bad life, huh?Tags: Photographs, Parrot Cay, Caribbean, Turks and Caicos, Living In Caribbean, Pilates, grace bay, grace bay club, lynda ...

There will be rain on & off all day today, and we need it. Traffic move very well on surface streets as well as the Toll Roads. I didn't see any LEO's this morning during the commute. They have been present during the commute home in the evenings. It seemed that every cager that came up behind me this morning had a cell phone plastered to the side of their heads.

Equine commute
2007-11-10 19:01:00 Yesterday, me, M., and J. Lee were hanging out in the parking lot (gravel pit) at the U when we noticed... Something worth blogging. It should have seemed almost commonplace, considering the area; instead, it was scarily surreal.Boondocks University is located in the center of a rather large town, amid several busy streets. Just so you know.Well, we happened to see two men riding past the parking lot, but they weren't in cars. They were on horseback. We followed their progress down the street, laughing in amusement as they spurred their horses into a trot across a busy intersection to try to beat a red light.Only in Mississippi.Strange thing is, I've never seen anyone riding horseback through a city before. Sure, lots of people have horses around here and ride on country roads, but never within city limits. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times that I've been stuck behind slow-moving tractors or backhoes or hay-hauling farmers or cattle-hauling trailers on m...

And I Thought my Bike Commute was Bad
2007-10-26 03:56:00 Every time I travel on somewhere my bike I experience the heart-pounding feeling of impending death, and plenty of frustration. It seems Torontonians, especially the uptownians, have not yet realized their beloved car culture is dying. My bike commute usually consists of at least a handful of the following: people honking randomly at me as if to say "what are you doing on MY ROAD?", the delivery vehicles in the bike lanes, the cars stopped in the no-stopping-zones, the drivers too lazy to signal their lane change, the three or four cars that go through every red light, and the bike lanes with a 4 lanes of traffic and a raises streetcar right-of-way in the middle (St. Clair & Poplar Plains). Or I get caught in traffic because some impatient yahoo in a huge car wondering what's the blockage ahead (not considering that the blockage is more huge CARS) has to pull all the way over to the right to have a look, leaving not enough inches for wee little me and my wee little bike to get thro...

I passed three FHP Cruisers on SR54 between US19 and the Suncoast Parkway that were running Radar; and several more Pasco County SD Cruisers riding at traffic speed and pulsing their Radar. Traffic moved well despite the over-reacting cagers that slam on their brakes the instant they notice a Cop Car. I watched two different cagers wander out of their lanes into the adjacent and occupied lanes because they were dick-knobbing around with cell phones instead of actually focusing on driving their 3000 pound cruise-missiles.It's Thursday in FlatLand and the Ass Hats are in bloom!

I came in early again to get a head start on this busy day in FlatLand. In the Mote that circles the interior loop of our corporate campus lives many species of water fowl.

Commuting in FlatLand September 20 - A nice ride in the rain
2007-09-21 02:05:00 I had a fun motorcycle ride during the evening commute. I enjoy riding in the rain. However, cagers seem to loose their collective minds at the first sign of moisture. Tailgating, lane incursions from the lanes next to you and flying up on your ass when your stopped in traffic as if they are Formula One drivers making a high speed pit stop. Of course these aren't the only dangers you must be cognizant of by a long shot. Unless you have a windshield wiper on your face shield, your field of vision and quality of vision through wet surfaces is greatly diminished. Your stopping distance is elongated and all turns must be handled with a light touch and smooth & steady throttle control. The oil stripes in the lane centers spread over the width of the lane during the early stages of rain; and lets not forget that the lane striping as well as the wide striping at intersections are only second to Ice for slickness.

Does not commute
2007-09-20 16:33:00 We’re walking to lectures, it’s around 8am and there is an oncoming mob of Liverpool street station commuters. I wait at the traffic light slightly dazed by the morning sunshine and stare blankly at the other pedestrians waiting to cross. One hurried lady walks out, sees a silver BMW coming towards her and runs across the road in a fairly graceless manner to avoid getting hit.All I do is watch expressionlessly.“Yes darling, it’s called a car” she declares to me as she passes.Right? I’m clearly the idiot here…We made it to lectures on time. I had a badass sore throat, and sat through the lectures swallowing what little secretions of saliva I could to soothe the burn.
