Metro: the sky is indeed falling

Hot off the Metro website, this week's release about possible cuts in Metro's service.

February 23 News Release on Metro budget situation

Misery does NOT love company and the long list of other places facing similar problems is cold comfort. RantWoman thinks cuts in bus service for the 50% of riders who depend on the bus to get to work are ducky if there are no jobs to go to anyway, but is generally scratching her head about how on EARTH anyone plans to have an economic recovery if people cannot get around to work and spend money.

On the POSSIBLE upside, would cuts in Metro services suck any more air out of some overheated real estate prices or would the cuts just bubble up prices for stuff in some locations to even more ridiculous levels? RantWoman does not even want to guess.

RantWoman does recommend that fans of Metro find the comments pages and send in any and all testimonials. Who knows what will finally get people's attention?
