Any favorite neighborhoods for someone with kids? Would like a relatively progressive part of town... near the rail, but not right on it... not too near to noxious gas wells. Any thoughts welcome.

Another ad-lib survey here. Please rank each of the following typical features from 1 to 3, with 3 being the highest. Please also be as honest as possible with yourself. Rank the following (you can rank high or low as many categories as you want). Please also tell me which of these are your two most important features in buying a vehicle. If you don't see the one most important feature to you for buying a vehicle here, please include it in your response! THANKS!!!

I'm doing an unscientific survey.

If you account for the manufacturing and disposal of the vehicle, as well as the operation of the vehicle over it's useful life, which is more Environmentally friendly (CO2 output, overall emissions, particulates, toxic landfill space)? A hybrid (like the Prius) or a traditional gasoline or diesel powered vehicle (choose your fuel... biodiesel, ethanol, or other)?

Should we all drive small traditional cars or jump to Hybrids?

Please also respond with your occupation.
