It it very hard to describe the difference in scale between East and West. Back East, time is the critical factor; out West, it is space.  The balance of the time-space continuum defines how we allocate resources.  In the East it may take 10 minutes to go a mile, just popping down to the grocery store. Out West, I’ve gone 10 miles in 10 minutes and I still haven’t got to the grocery store.

When trying to solve the problems of traffic, pollution, and public transportation,  please remember that one size does not fit all.
