CINCINNATI, OH

I've been here ten years -- love the beautiful parks with their fantastic views -- prefer the weather here -- mild winters and a rather quick jump into Springtime. However I think it's about time that the Nati come out of the dark ages and get a better public transportation system! I miss the Rapid Transit in my hometown Cleveland Ohio. There is no where in Cleveland that you can't get to using public transportation. Most all major cities have rail transportation. They say they don't have one because of the cost. Nonetheless I believe that the unemployment rate would drop considerably in this town with the installation of a rail system for mass transportation. People who don't drive lose out in the marketplace because many good paying jobs are located in outlying areas and people who don't drive for whatever reason cannot go to to certain destination using The Metro Bus because their services are limited. Even without a rail system in place why don't city management consider offering better public transportation using what they already have in place ---- Metro. I've been told that certain zoning laws is the responsible culprit when it comes to Metro. Well laws can change can't they ? If the city wants to see new growth and their economy expand then the Nati need to broaden their horizon and get in the fast lane.
