That's the problem with most of the towns in Wake County. They all sprawl all over the place instead of concentrating the commercial activity in one central, easily accessible location. This is the reason the 0.5 transit tax we pay now in Wake County in conjunction with the NC Sales Tax is a ripoff. Public transportation will never be used by the great majority of residents because the places they need to go are too spread out to be connected to any kind of public transportation network. Not to mention that this sprawl is eating away our greenspace.

Yes and it’s all financed by debt which is the scary part for me . What happens when our industrial output and population growth can no longer finance those debt payments ? I think we have a bit of a warped view in America on how towns could be built . Everything is built for the car, how that came to be is a very interesting and rather corrupt story , as all stories involving government subsidies are… Virginia has some interesting compact small towns . Charlottesville for example has 50k people in 10 sq miles . it’s 3 miles from each end of town . Yet Charlottesville is still very nice looking and doesn’t feel like or look like a big city . There is a happy medium between sprawled out hell and compact nyc nightmares .

I’ve been a member here since the site started and I’ve never had a run in with a Mod or gotten in trouble once. Following the rules here is so easy, and I don’t see how anyone can’t follow the rules.

You can’t fix stupid.

Exactly, I been around since a lot of these guys were at TW and I think they do a great job. Definitely put up with alot of craziness lol.
 
I’m not going to lie but up here so far it’s been a down year winter wise compared to last year. I know I stay all the way up close to the Pacific Northwest but our yearly snowfall for the season at least up here in Billings has been down.. we haven’t had more than 5 inches of snow for the season those graph charts they are displaying is wrong….also there have been a lot of busted forecast when it comes to snow…. Yeah I should be grateful in terms of seeing snow but not being able to not get one 4 or 5 inch snow kinda sucks when there’s places that has had a better winter overall south west and east of this area… and yes I know climo wise up winter is not over but the pattern in this area has sucked gooseballs

Forecaster Vaughn at FFC - Ya didn’t have to word things like this. Ya could have simply said “this removes any chance of wintery…” and left off the completely unnecessary “Woo!”.

But no. You had to be THAT forecaster. I hope we have at least one decent Atlanta winter weather event this stupid winter, and Vaughn has an abosultely miserable time with it.

Lol I don't need another last winter. That was too much for me honestly and I knew we weren't going to repeat that(I've said it a bunch of times to local weather friends I know). I just need one solid snowstorm. I thought last Saturday was gonna do it and be an inch or two but then it stopped

Another thing too... I mean living in Dallas snow was never a guarantee heck I almost went 6 years without seeing it there but I'm in a place where every winter has had something up here and only a handful haven't even had an inch in 120 years

That's the nirvana look we are looking for in the eastern half/third of the SE in this setup. Check out how far south the 540 line is
