The California City Where Ideals Are Punched in the Face by Reality
By Stephen Frank on Feb 16, 2016 08:01 pmYesterday, on my way to Walnut Creek in Contra Costa County I passed by the city of Tracy.

By Stephen Frank on Feb 16, 2016 07:59 pmThe people know that an increase in the minimum wage kills jobs. Ask former restaurant workers in Seattle.

The ‘Common Sense’ of Transit Ridership: If It Makes ‘Sense’, It Will Become More ‘Common’
By Stephen Frank on Feb 16, 2016 07:50 pmGovernment transportation is a losing. In the Los Angeles area they have spent $9 billion (not a typo) and ridership has gone down.
