Imagine how much money you would have if you didn’t have to own a car
Unfortunately, the most walkable cities tend to be the most expensive but wouldn’t be if it was like that everywhere. Pre-WW2 America was so cool because it had a balance of walkable cities with cars. You could still take a train from some middle of no where town to the big city because the town was built on the railroad…
Chicago my goat. Walkable. Bikeable. Public transitable. And not too bank breaking as long as you’re willing to settle with an apartment, coop, or condo
I don’t have car and moneys
SwedneckAs someone living in a walkable city not owning a car, it solves about 79 problems rather than 19.
infinitesunriseJay-Z ironically living in maybe the most walkable city in the country.
I do wish the town I lived in was more walkable. You can but it’s a bit big and sprawling residential areas so it takes a long time. Peninsula with most retail at the tip doesn’t help. Cycling around is pretty good though.
FriendOfDeSotoCops will still stop him going you’ve been walking 55 in a 54.
Fr having moved somewhere I can comfortably walk/bike/ride a lot of where I want/need to go has been a massive improvement to my life.
Where?
Pick any city with a good rail line.
Examples pls.
DC, Chicago, Seattle, NYC, I hear mixed things about Boston
Oh I don’t live in the US lol. I guess I didn’t specify.
Oh well this is really the sort of thing you should be able to Google. And if you’re going to ask questions without specifying country like an American, especially ones revolving around car culture…
Looks like you have a .ca there neighbor, in which case from what I hear you’re fucked in that regard though Vancouver is building out a rail line and Toronto is obstinately refusing to. Montreal probably has decent transit though, nobody can tell as they speak french
I’m moving soon from a small town with nothing but a Circle K on the main road where last year 6 people died trying to cross the street, to a pretty big town with a bustling downtown and sidewalks the whole way to my new house ~2.5 miles away.
I’ll be a 5-10 minute walk from a shopping center with a grocery store, a sports complex, a public library and a lot more.
I’m absolutely stoked. I grew up in the city and the sort of strandedness the last few years has really affected my mental health.
Wealth redistribution would fix all of them
Someone told me once that Americans love Disneyland so much because it’s the only time in their lives in they’re in a walkable town and that made me think. Makes me look at cruise ships in a new light too.
It’s so fucking nice!
Oooh a post that will attract the fuckcars brigade! Let’s guess: will genuinely curious questions or even the mildest of criticism be absolutely buried in downvotes? Stay tuned to find out!
So far it seems only a false statement and some prediction about something barely related are the ones being heavily downvoted.
Love how triggered you are, speaks volumes.
I don’t drive, but I wanted to point out just how unhinged and disconnected from reality the echo chamber you’ve formed around yourself has become.
I’m sorry that internet points are so triggering for you that you had to come here just to point out that most members of the anti-car community are going to vocally disagree with the contrarian pro-car sentiment that finds its way here. Truly groundbreaking, thanks for your contribution.
You’re the second person to tell me that I am triggering. Can you explain to me what I am doing?
