    We need public transportation on the shore bad! We need to invest in it. It would help bring jobs

    Can you imagine if we all had functioning public transit and if it were completely free?? It would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help the economy at the same time.

    Since my son was 2 we have talked about dreams and how you achieve them. Today he told me he wants to be an architect. He then told me his favorite architects, the buildings they designed, and which ones he wants to visit. He’s 6 and wants help. I’m all in.
