This week in our round-up of must-read posts: Do Something on housing in Alexandria; Metrorail's return to automatic trains is a major development that will create smoother and faster service; the second in our Why Traffic? series, explaining how congestion is never permanently solved by adding more lanes; Holiday train gardens are a tradition for Baltimore firefighters and many in the region: plan your trip to see them; our writer shows how just walking the streets of DC can be as risky to your health as directly inhaling exhaust from a tail pipe, particularly thanks to vehicle emissions.
