Gregory letter: Bus riders

Regarding “Boise’s population booms, but people not riding bus.” This is a mark of sprawl development. Sprawl residents almost always end up driving their private car to work, to shopping, to doctor’s office, and all the other errands of life. Sprawl destroys natural heritage, fragments remaining natural areas, increases air pollution and surface runoff, and increases the cost of living while ruining the quality of life ratio for everyone.
