Eliminate your wife's wasted time, and your country's productivity would
soar!


add in the additional car, parking fees, etc ... than you might be even.


Iowa City has been trying to "European-ize" their downtown in a similar
fashion. Just this year they closed the last available open parking lot in
downtown, (they're building condos on it) leaving only parking meters and
multi-story parking garages available for parking.

End result? All new business development since 1998 has moved to our sister
city, Coralville. In the end, all these well-intentioned, over-educated
city activists accomplished was to ensure the financial success of
Coralville.

Which, of course, is what every business-person *told* them would happen
when they announced their plan.
