    The news is full off tips/tricks things to do to get by in the economy. I already do most of those things People saving the most by riding to work are your weekend warrior who thinks "I've already got the gear, why not bike to work" But I've been doing this for years in Spring/Summer so this is normal for my budget. Public transit? Fairly fuel efficient vehicle? Link/efficient errands? Chose a house near transit options? Doing it already.

    I've applied to have my property taxes lowered, I feel bad about it because I know my county needs the revenue. Can someone tell them I'm pouring it back into the local economy with the remodel.

    Speaking of remodel, when I set out to do this thang I looked forward to sell for almost double what I paid. I found a home well below market value which is lucky for me. The way things look now I might break even or even loose a little if I sold right when I'm done.

    Anyone want a newly remodeled condo within 2 bikeable miles to BART/Amtrack?
