(EZ-Pass does ticket or drop accounts for speeding, but only for speeding through toll booths themselves.)

(Around here no one slows to 15mph (?) going through the EZ pass only toll booths, including me for the most part. 20-30 is about as slow as most people travel thru them, if that.)

I've never gotten a speeding ticket for going though the EZ pass toll booth. But ours typically have the gate down so you have to slow down regardless...

What is your other objection? People are gonna drive unless it's cost prohibitive.

I commute, at the moment, its more cost effective than moving. The Youngstown/Warren area has a pretty low cost of living compared to Cleveland and its suburbs.

Whats wrong with a 3,000 square foot house? My cousin is building a 9,000 square foot house....
