The word is getting out

The amount of coverage being devoted to urban living has just been incredible. I previously mentioned the wall street journal article. There was also a story on good morning america as well as msnbc. One thing is clear about those cities that are attracting people, they all have options when it comes to getting around; specifically a good mass transit system. So let's here it for Crains Detroit and there support for state legislation, House Bill 6114, that would provide incentives for development projects around transportation. As Crains notes, the bill is being promoted by the Michigan Municipal League. Good for them and good for Rep. Marie Donigan of Royal Oak for introducing the bill. Its time for people to rally around this idea, being used in cities and states across the country. Michigan needs to get "on board".
