Statistics can't capture what people aren't even honest with themselves about. If a person is too lazy to do anything except drive and there is a push toward driving less, it's psychological natural...

Maybe and maybe not. Read Machka's earlier posts about what counts as mixed-use and what doesn't. There are many factors that will influence whether a development is really 'mixed-use' in the sense...

If statistics stimulate anyone to take any action, it's because they are misconstrued as being more meaningful than they are. As I've said to Machka, show many any statistics-based claims, and I...

I keep telling you that statistics don't do it for me. I'm looking for individual case studies. Doing statistical research gets on my nerves. Sorting through data sets is a pain. Percentages are...
