The availability of gasoline, both in terms of supply and rising prices, could well make driving to a shopping mall an unthinkable act by the year 2020. Why would we continue to plan and build infrastructure that requires the use of an automobile?

Is it greener to drive to Durham to shop? Give me a break. It never ceases to amaze me how some people are anti-business, regardless of the benefits. No wonder Orange County property taxes are so high- all the sales taxes are going to Durham. Sustainability? Ugh. People are going to shop whether this gets built or not.
