Thats an excellent article, Saul. I hope people will read it and realize that they must start preparing for these changes in their lives.

Better public transportation in the cities is a start but I do wonder how people that live in rural areas will cope without public transport. Many are dependent on trucks and, in fact, trucks are an essential tool for many. I think living outside urban areas(unless you're a farmer) will be considered a luxury. Actually, I already think that way.

Its the people in the suburbs who will find themselves in big trouble without a car. Thats why developers are now thinking in terms of building up rather that creating more suburban sprawl. High density housing is the wave of the future. Any land that is still remaining, will have to be used for agriculture.
