I was right, the City of Gainesville thinks that Traffic Congestion is GOOD

"Dom Nozzi, senior planner for the city of Gainesville and author of a book on sprawl, said smaller roads actually reduce gridlock by encouraging bike and bus riding."

Well, in that case, this Nozzi needs to go, and any of the petty tyrants that agree with him in our local government. I know that this may come as a shock to some, especially in the Gainesville where most voters seem to think that totalitarian police states are good, but the Government has no business telling us what to do. The government has a duty to respond to our legitimate needs. It may respond to our legitimate needs in one of two ways. The preferred method is to get out of our way and stop hindering us in our efforts to fulfill our needs. The other method is to eneact programs to fulfill our needs. This should only be a last resort and only apply to areas in which only the government can reasonably be given authority (the management of public roads, for example).

I am fed up with the anti-driver attitude of Gainesville. All car drivers are voters. We need to vote everyone out of office and replace them with candidates that will actually try to fix the traffic problems instead of trying to force us not to drive. Vote for former city commissioner and entrepreneur Tony Domenech, he is running for an at-large seat on the Gainesville City Commission. He is fed up with the traffic problem too and will likely do something about it. Unlike the current Commissioners, he actually thinks that shrinking Main Street into only 2 lanes is insane.
