That hardly makes it false. That's actually almost exactly the point the article is discussing. In the U.S. policy decisions, in this case encouraging living in suburbs, is a major contributor to the lack of walking.
- tivert 3y ago> That hardly makes it false. That's actually almost exactly the point the article is discussing. In the U.S. policy decisions, in this case encouraging living in suburbs, is a major contributor to the lack of walking. Policy decisions and citizen preferences. I've been to dense, walkable residential areas, and I wouldn't trade a suburban home for that. It would be nice to have a little more neighborhood commercial space in the suburbs (e.g. a little cafe), like some older inner-ring suburbs have/had. But the economics probably just don't work anymore. My parent's neighborhood had some of that at a corner, but 3/4 of the businesses closed or relocated to higher traffic areas.
