2. San Francisco
3. Boston
...
7. Washington DC
This list makes a lot more sense than the 2014 list.
- chris_va 10y agoTo me, SF does not seem particularly walkable, bike friendly, nor transit friendly (it is ranked #2 for all). It isn't terrible, but #2 in the nation?
- sqrt 10y agoI think that might speak more to the dismal state of cities in the rest of the country, rather than SF being particularly good.
- dexwiz 10y agoMy city, Indianapolis, is in the bottom 10 for all three scores. Not surprising, its in the 5th largest US capital by land [1]. Owning a car is a must. The city has great highways, but you have to use them to get anywhere. Public transit outside of main thorough fares is nonexistent, there is a single major bike path, and good luck trying to walk to a grocery store [2]. I live in the downtown area, which is fairly walkable, but its equivalent to a single neighborhood in a larger city. To get another nonresidential neighborhood, you have to drive 3-5 miles. People keep telling me Indianapolis is going to blow up, that is just on the brink of making it big time. That is only because land is so cheap. And land is only so cheap, because its so spread out. But that means the city is essentially suburbs with a few high density hubs. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United... 2. http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/indianapolis-ranks-worst-nation-food-deserts-67800/ http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/indianapolis-ranks-worst-...
