Also B actors over acting in front of the camera with the most unpopular B actor sacrificing him or herself to save a baby from certain death.

Apparently you have hot seen the line up of cars going east in the morning and west in the evening. Yawn... Why not take a look and then get back to us. BTW, Commutting by car uses lots of gas... this is an major expense for our regional economy. The bottom line is always reduce expenses. Also you seem to fail to see the point that there are good jobs and good housing on both sides of the lake. Many people have been too lazy to swich sides. Perhaps a financial incentive will bring us efficiency

I think you're trying way to hard to feel smart. Read the taglines and think a bit more before opening your mouth.
Idiot.

JMTGeorge: I am sorry, but your comment demonstrates ignorance about the price of houses on the east side. If you actually observe the bridge, there is a major traffic jam from poeple who live IN seattle and commute to the east side for work.
The fact is, cross county commuting is inefficient. Tolls on roads will bring the true cost of these commutes to the market place. As it is, property and sales taxes subsidize the roads used by wasteful commuters.

Houses in King County as a whole are rising, not just on the Eastside.

Your comment about more people commuting to the eastside is false. Consider I-90, the HOV lane goes into Seattle in the morning and out of Seattle in the evening. That's because there are more people commuting into the city then there are leaving. The reason traffic looks worse to people like you is there is no HOV lane in the other direction.

Cross country commuting is efficient as long as you're making enough money.

You mean money to buy gas and repair cars??? this is a drain on our economy, and less time with family and friends.
