		<description><![CDATA[Which is worse behavior, speeding or running red lights?  The immediate response is more than likely running red lights.  It&#8217;s more dangerous and a clear infraction of traffic rules whereas speeding is more stretching a rule than breaking a law.  &#8230; <a href="http://urbangrumblings.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/speeding-vs-burning-red-lights/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=urbangrumblings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6479335&amp;post=78&amp;subd=urbangrumblings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading David Jones' Mass Motorization and Mass Transportation (Indiana University Press, 2008), an examination of the recent history and future of mass transportation in the United States.  Jones does a good job of explaining some of the fundamental attributes that contributed  to the massive shift in urban transportation from rail to private automobile.  He articulates that the shift was well under way prior to the end of WWII, when the interstate highway act, the expansion of Federal Housing Authority insurance and returning GIs all contributed to the rapid increase of the existing trend. <a href="http://urbangrumblings.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/mass-motorization-and-mass-transit-david-jones-2008/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=urbangrumblings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6479335&amp;post=196&amp;subd=urbangrumblings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before sinking with over one thousand five hundred people aboard on April 15, 1912, the Titanic was briefly the world's largest active naval vessel.  Her three year construction provided thousands of jobs and, like the other White Star Liner Olympic class ocean liners of the time, she was designed and built in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the Harland and Wolff shipyard.  At its peak, the yard employed over 30,000 people and was the mainstay of the Belfast economy.  Like many other western shipyards, however, it fell sharply into decline after World War Two as the economics and port requirements of shipbuilding began to change.  Despite the construction of the two massive gantry cranes, Samson and Goliath, to promote large scale shipbuilding in the late 60s and early 70s, the industry continued its steady retreat. <a href="http://urbangrumblings.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/a-titanic-mistake/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=urbangrumblings.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6479335&amp;post=15&amp;subd=urbangrumblings&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
