Today we learned the consumer confidence number fell nearly ten points since last month.
It's not hard to figure why. The unemployment number for May showed a dismal growth of just 41,000 in American civilian jobs. And people got the word.
All this -- the bad June unemployment number expected Friday, the bad consumer confidence number, the drop in the Dow -- working together, and we're looking at the plausibility of that "second dip" we've been warned about.

On the West coast, we need to suck sprawl back in or build city centers that are dense first. Then we can build more efficient transportation. There is a lot of work that has to be done. The high speed trains can go on existing infrastructure in order to avoid spoilage of more land. The future will have to be sustainable with planned communities that are diverse.
This is a socio-political change, and it won't happen quick. |
