03/09/2006 | During the last century, an area equal to all the arable land in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania was paved in the US. This area requires maintenance costs of over $200 million per day.
Mickey Z. writes: "The surreptitious cost of the car culture totals nearly $464 billion a year in the US alone, much of that going to the sustentation of a military presence in the Persian Gulf."
Don't know if that includes the Iraq war.
