Right now Richmond is lightyears away from any really good public transportation system, something I would like to see changed. A good light rail transit system would be a good start, but no one thinks it will work because of the cost involved to build and operate one verses the return they will get from ridership.

I love the current trend in showing relative size/price/consumption quantities via comparative photography. I've particularly enjoyed the "<a href="http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1626519,00.html" rel="nofollow">how much the world eats</a>"-type photo essays. That’s a great photo.
