When I was much younger I didn't own a car. I determined where I worked based on whether I could get there by foot, bike, or bus. I thought in terms of 5 miles or less on foot (about a 35-40 minute jog then). One of the reasons I chose where I live was that it was only about a mile from my employment.
So where do you live? Do you depend on work within the Toledo limits (where taxes are collected), and live elsewhere, or do you live in Toledo and travel outside the limits for employment? Is Toledo providing employment to thousands who take their wealth to Maumee, or Perrysburg? Or are thousands living in Toledo, and traveling to Maumee, Holland and Sylvania to work? Is Toledo's economic prosperity important to you, or could you care less? Can you get along with the "pustule" on the shores of Lake Erie? Does Toledo proper only serve as a place for cheap housing for the elderly, a collection of government offices for the rest of us, a dumping place for the poor, and a railroad terminus. Is the future of retail outside the city (such as Fallen Timbers) because that is where the money is at?
