I'm really impressed at how few people know about the nudge concept outside of government.
In the 4 or 5 years the concept has been around, it has really had an impact on our city's planning and development---pretty much grinding anything big to a halt. The concept promotes air travel unless there is a high speed rail corridor planned. Amtrak is on the sidelines. Fuel hog bus and air get a free ride as long as they can get people out of their cars. Seems to be more about herding the masses all into one place, not much green about it really.
