YouTube - Mowers to Plows - David Sparks for Dayton City Commission
Dayton - like many cities these days - has lawns that it is responsible for. Whether public areas or lawns of foreclosed homes, quite a bit of manpower - and gasoline - is spent taking care of these plant-covered areas.
David Sparks (though he takes a while to get to it) has an idea that echoes and builds on what I suggested about a month ago; that we not only "get used to" the idea of transportation costs being high, but also use that information to innovate and do things in new ways to help ourselves.
That is the American way, after all.
There's a link to Dave's blog in the sidebar. Check it - and his video - out.

Drexel Dave is a hoot! He was going to run for mayor, but I guess he lowered his sights a bit!
BTW, neat start for a localist blog!
