	Well if it came down to a choice between long term and short term
then I think long term would be the right choice, but doing both is of
course the right thing to do - unless of course you believe that doing
nothing is the right thing to do.

     I do not think that many people are like that.  When one sees
only short-term activities being done, suggesting long-term activities
does not mean that the suggester thinks that only long-term activities
should be done but that long-term activities should be added to the
to-do list.

Sincerely,

The trouble is that the short term activities are not being done 
effectively.  Spending on long term activities will just take away from 
that.  And politicians being politicians, next years crop will find a 
way to screw up any long term activities started by this years crop 
anyway.

In any case, Peter's idea only works if there is one employer
and employees are employed for life.   If there are more than
one employer and employees only stick around for 3 or 4 years
(which is common today), then there is no way to live near work
without frequent disruptive (particularly for children) moves.

Visit LA or silicon valley and those notions would be quashed
quickly.

A metropolitan area usually has many political sub-divisions and
zoning can't handle a large region.  Also, in the US we like to give
business a reasonably free hand in doing what it wants to do.

In Philadelphia, there is a ton of unused land that is very close
to major transit facilities (such as North Philadelphia).
Unfortunately, no business wants to locate in that area, and most
people wouldn't want to be employed there, either.  It's a very high
crime run-down area.  So, instead, business will locate in an 
already crowded suburban location, served by highway only.

The real solution is cleaning up the slums so the land isn't 
wasted, a problem in many cities.  But it is a very tough
problem to solve.  During the Baltimore riots, TV news
showed massive modern housing and commercial projects to
redevelop the slums.  Lots of money spent.  But the projects
were mostly empty.  There's the case elsewhere, too.

Here in the Vancouver area the provincial government attempted to deal
with this problem by establishing a board to handle transit over the
entire region.  This board is unelected and answerable to no one, even
though it receives a cut of taxes.  ("Taxation without representation
is TransLink."  -- me)  Recently there was a referendum over whether
to increase the provincial sales tax by 0.5% to help fund transit
improvements.  It didn't pass; after past debacles and arrogant
behaviour by board members, too few people trust TransLink to
spend the money wisely.

Devise a bus service that makes a profit from taking people to work and 
bringing them back at night. No subsidies - they are an act of sabotage. 
Include cost of buying new buses every few years. Possibly by permitting 
the drivers to have a day job.

Shouldn't we get rid of "act of sabotage" subsidies for roads as well 
(fuel taxes and license fees pay for less than half of the cost)?

Havings roads (and airways) pay _all_ of their direct and indirect
costs would make transportation far more efficient by more honestly
allocating costs and resources.  In essence, living in suburbia
or especially exurbia would cost a lot more, and force people
to move into higher density areas where transport can be more
efficient.

However, if, say, gasoline were to cost $5/gallon, there would be
massive riots in the U.S. (like there were in the 1970s).  Americans
think living in wide open spaces is an absolute natural right.
They aren't gonna give up their split levels without a fight.

So, national policy will continue to be to throw a few crumbs at
transit so it can run a bus or two every hour, and at Amtrak to
run an LD train a few times a week.  We will bulldoze hundreds of
square miles to build more airports and highways, plowing under
homes and businesses. 

In reality, even just shifting the share-percentages only a few
points would have a great deal of benefits, but the automotive
and airline interests absolutely panic at that.  They spend a
lot of lobbyists to fight even miniscule projects.  (I've been
at public hearings where people show up to protest any new
transit project--yet they have nothing to do with the specific
project at hand.)

Since indirect costs can only be estimated (IOW, guessed), the whole
argument is disingenuous.

past posts that highway design is based on expected ton-miles lifetime
expectancy (80kN equivalent single axle loads - ESAL) ... road
wear&tear, maintenance and replace is all based on heavy truck 18wheeler
use (light trucks and autos play no factor). In effect the majority of
consumer and light vehicle taxes are to subsidize heavy trucking. If
heavy trucking was taxed directly proportional to their associated
costs, their taxes would enormously skyrocket ... and taxes for other
vehicles would be slashed (not as much as no tax for off-road vehicles
... but getting close). Of course, if heavy trucking paid their full,
fair share, they might want to start demanding highway priorities.

that is separate from cheap gas enabling all sort of life-style choices.

But if heavy trucks had to pay their true fair share of highway
construction, a lot more freight would be hauled by rail or
manufactured locally.  The railroad industry would be a lot
healthier.

Actually, I think the railroad industry is fairly healthy, and so does

If the transportation costs of trucking is increased, then the costs
of goods and services trucked in will increase.  It may be more
"efficent" for locals to pay for the maintenance of roads.

More efficient transportion supposedly supports (supposedly) more
efficient large corporate food production. One way of
characterizing/profiling efficiency is by costs, various kinds of tax
subsidies distort costs ... and therefor distorts perception of
efficiency.

Related arguments are about real costs/measures of all kinds of
legislation, there can be claims made justifying various kinds of
legislation (including taxes) ... but rarely is there any effort to
substantiate the claims (especially if there is actually totally
different motivation).

trivial example is national disaster flood insurance ... claim is that
at least half of the national disaster flood insurance is paid to the
same people along the mississippi, year after year (effectively a
federal economic subsidy for those people). In the early 80s, congress
passed a law that those people get paid one more time to move off of the
designated flood plains, but it was illegal to keep paying the same
people to rebuild on the same flood plains, year after year. several
recent articles about how that law was never enforced ... people
continually getting to rebuild on the same flood plains. past posts

one of the arguments for flat tax was that (distorted) taxes can result
in less efficient, non-optimal business decisions/choices.

I've periodically referenced roundtable broadcast at national economist
meeting a few years ago. That current federal tax code costs 5-6% of
GDP. Going to (simplified) flat tax gains 2-3% GDP in (wasted) time
people spend dealing with the tax code and 2-3% GDP in people making
more optimal business decisions (there is intense lobbying tax preparers

I've seen the attitude "I don't use the highways so why should I have
to pay for them?".  People, who have this attitude, don't seem to know
how stuff gets into the stores and the work involved to supply their
needs.

Of course.  Now check the cost of their premiums.  When I was trying
to buy flood insurance in Mass., the premium was $600 while the
premium for the senator from Mississippi was $300.   His place was
closer to sea level and water than mine.

and then I looked at the rules of getting paid for damages.  That's
rigged, too.

If you want to find more corruption, look into water supply.  That's
going to be a big problem within the next (est.) 10 years.

Why don't I ever hear the argument that a flat tax would promote
creation of new business?  anyone trying to start out is up to his/her
ears in paperwork w.r.t. business and employment taxes, fees, and
regulations.

BULLSHIT and I've done it and just helped one of the kids
doing it just lately too. And the bulk of new business just
uses an accountant to handle their tax anyway.
