Rantings and tirades of a frustrated economist.
Considering I ditched my car during the last gas hike in '08 and now ride my bike everywhere, it's going great! :)I don't know how the rest of the state will hold up, but some of us caught on early..
Motorcycles.Manly and fuel efficient.
This would have been more interesting if there was also a map showing prices less state excise and sales taxes. That would show the regulatory burden California suffers under.
I wonder how much is from those progressive taxes verses environmental regulations.
I've been walking my son to school. It's about a mile. The goal was to ease some of the wiggles out naturally, but it saves gas too.
There's also general price levels to consider. Wages are higher in California and everything costs more.That's not to say that they aren't screwing themselves with their policies apart from that, but it's something else to keep in mind.
