the salt air the blows in from the wind helps asthma alot from what i have heard.

Law, You are quite correct . There is a dramatic increase in respiratory cases. (young and old).You add dog fecal material into the mix and the roads are something akin to a petrie dish. Cobblestone may help a bit but the real answer is limiting the number of vehicles. That subject has been kicked around many times of course. to my knowledge, salt air doesn't help much, and albuterol is pretty expensive.

Guess no one liked my Trolley idea.

A trolley was attempted but overruled by the taximen.

Isn't that like death row inmates voting on whether or not to abolish capital punishment?

How do you spell Monopoly ??

The taximen are a lot of votes

i think they had a big school bus that would give people rides like the taxis but then all the taximen got together and mde them abolish it. If a trolley was to come then most of the taximen would lose there livly hood.

the salt air does indeed help. I know someone very well here who left where they were in the states as in one weeks vacation here their asthma improved. Since living here they have iliminated their meds and asthma has improved a great deal.

casa... I think the taximen are missing the point. All of them would be hired to work on the trolley. There would be Assistants to help people on and off with their baggage... then the Conductor to drive the trolleys... then road maintenance to make sure the roadways were sufficient to ensure a smooth ride. Then The president of the trolleymen's association, etc.

I think this would be a major coup for the taximen... plus they would get a steady income.
