Are you sure?  I know the population has increased, but I find it hard
to believe it has increased that much.

Are you forgetting the trolleys?

I recall reading the minutes of an early WSFA meeting that failed to
get a quorum due to a transit strike.

It would be a sad day indeed if the current situation caused WSFA to
relocate to somewhere that makes it a motorist-only club.  As best
as I can determine, the club has *never* met somewhere inaccessible
to transit, except once, in July of this year.  And we didn't get a
quorum then, either.
