$8 Gas a Good Thing? I Don’t Think So

The problem is that all of his listed “good thing” would come well after a period of tension and hardship. Nothing on that list would happen overnight – migration to high density housing, mass transit and moving away from gas burning cars. All of that would take years (or even decades) – and would come after a period of turmiol and grief. Especially for lower income folk who can’t afford hard-to-get hybrids and downtown lofts.

But hey, the results might end up good (maybe) and as long as Pummer doesn’t suffer much – he’s all for it.
