    hi there - totally random question, but i was wondering if you would ever considering changing your blog feeds to full-rss so that they show up in rss readers? right now it's just the headline, and so i often do not read the content at all because i don't have the time/inclination to click through.

    just a suggestion! i love this blog and the other bdale ones.

    thanks!

    DC must set some sort of record for the number of unused transportation and planning studies issued. I mean, we have studies for light rail, rapid bus routes, reconstructing NY Avenue, putting Truxton Circle back, new metro lines... but the most progress I've seen in 10 years has been stop signs on Flagler Street and a bunch of new speed bumps.

    Ah well... at least they are keeping recent urban planning graduates employed!
