Even Better Than An Inqy Parking Thread!

I do love my commenters.

I live on an island in the middle of 100 acres of Douglas Fir, Alder, Cedar, and Madrone trees. I consider it slightly too dense. I make it a point to visit a large city like Otumwa, Iowa or Spearfish, South Dakota once every 5 years to get reacquainted with urban dis-function. I understand that the placement of Yosemite National Park is considered racist because it is so far away from urban centers and public transit. What I sense you would like is sort of a "Pol Pot in Reverse" where we round up all the rural and suburban folk and cram them into cities.
