Vivian Page has written an interesting diary at her site on Virginia dithering while NC is attempting to address the growth problem and its effect on transportation.

She deftly counters the assumption, made in a Pilotonline.com article, that Virginia, being business-friendly, won't enact an "adequate public facilities ordinance" to limit new residential subdivisions.  Her diary links us to her earlier post that reminds us about why Ford left Hampton Roads http://blog.vivianpa... "a transportation bottle-neck in Hampton Roads results in a $300 shipping premium being tacked on to the cost of every truck we build."

It's a good read and provided some real data on how bottle-necks are not business friendly!
