This is a quote from yesterdays Pilot: "According to an information sheet distributed at Monday's meeting, U.S. Highway 40 through downtown Steamboat is "the most heavily traveled section of U.S. 40 in Northwest Colorado..."
Unless the residents of 700 are able to find jobs in their neighborhood, will dine and shop only in their neighborhood, will build their own medical center, and do not plan to ski, ice skate, play golf, attend the rodeo, enjoy the hot springs, etc., the number of cars on Lincoln between 3rd and 13th streets will only massively increase.
The ad promoting Steamboat 700 in today's paper suggests that it actually willl help alleviate traffic congestion because "workers won't live down valley". Unless all these new residents plan to walk to work, shopping, dining or skiing , I don't see how doubling the number of cars on Lincoln can decrease congestion.
I must question the statement that "After all, there is nothing wrong with health care in the United States today. Our health care professionals and the services they provide are the finest in the world."
The World Health Organization has carried out the first ever analysis of the world's health systems. Using five performance indicators to measure health systems in 191 member states, it finds that France provides the best overall health care followed among major countries by Italy, Spain, Oman, Austria and Japan. The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, the report finds. The American people pay twice as much per person for medical care than the rest of the world combined.

Gary Hofmeister: Tipping point - are we there?
People do lose their insurance policies when they lose their jobs. We did. Cobra is good for only 18 months after losing one's job.

Our View: Efforts improve summer diversity
The bicycling events were also a huge success. Steamboat has a strong bicycling environment and should increase efforts in this direction.
