Dan Wentzel

(I noticed an uptick in press discussions about "density and transit" and "density and West Hollywood."  To respond to these articles, many of which are predicting doom for anyone foolish enough to try and densify their cities, I asked Dan Wentzel, a transit advocate who resides in West Hollywood, to take take a turn at the Streetsblog helm.  His article is below.  For more Wentzel, you can pretty much read any transit-related story's comment thread here on Streetsblog.  Or check out his personal blog at Ride the Pink Line. - DN)
