Gas prices cause Dallasite to move

29 February 2008 by 1 Comment

From a CNN article on rising gas prices:

    “Travis Grim, of Dallas, Texas, said he moved so that he could be closer to work. “Now I’m in walking distance. I’m sure towns and businesses will see a surge as people leave the suburbs for relief,” he wrote. Other readers said they changed jobs, or sold their homes so they could have a shorter commute.”

Finally. I think this is the first time I’ve heard in the media of someone realizing that this is such a good idea.

About pcNielsen
Paul Nielsen founded The Aesthetic Elevator late in 2005. He owns a piece of paper, located somewhere in his house (not on the wall), stating that he earned a B.F.A. from the University of Nebraska around about 2001. While there, he studied studied architecture, graphic design and ceramics, graduating with a degree in studio art. Paul presently serves as communications manager for a small non-profit doing their print design and marketing. He spends as much time sculpting in his studio as possible — which is not nearly enough.
