Got any citations to back that up? I remember everyone in high school in Philadelphia commuting via public transit. And what do you meant can't walk to school?

Got any citations to back that up? I remember everyone in high school in Philadelphia commuting via public transit. And what do you meant can't walk to school? The whole city is a grid, completely covered with sidewalks. Go pull up an online map if you've never seen it before. The only thing impeding people from walking everywhere is the fear of getting mugged or worse in certain neighborhoods.
- dfxm12 4y agoYou probably know this, but Philadelphia is a particularly large & dense city - which is not really representative of the country at large. There was an article about 15 minute cities on HN a few days ago. Philly is a lot closer to a 15 minute city (especially if you include public trans to walking and biking in the defnition) than most other places in the country. That's a great thing, and I wish more places in the US were like Philly.
