Bob, You should have been at the Growing In Place Symposium the day before the Urban Planning Forum. Dee Merriam, FASLA with the Center For Disease Control talked about the need for walkable communities.

RaleighRob,

Not that long ago, a decade maybe, I might have agreed with you.

Please Henry, get real. If it weren't for real cities like Raleigh, the suburbs, like Cary, would be nothing but farm fields or forests.

If it's true that "the best schools in Wake County are in Raleigh," that alone is demonstration of racially motivated manipulation by the former Wake County School Board, a blatant and egregious attempt to advantage poor black Raleigh kids at the expense of white suburban kids. There is no legitimate reason for anything other than a completely uniform distribution of schools within a school district.
