It is quite weird how few walkable neighborhoods exist. That and some other properties of modern USA life almost make it seem like someone is trying to prevent community formation. Who would have an incentive to do that?
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Who would have an incentive to do that? People already live in their car-centric houses. Creating walkable cores means pitching folks who can park outside their favorite restaurant on walking from a parking lot. It's easier to sell the concept to new folks, who will live within walking or biking distance of the new core, than gaining buy-in from incumbents. That, in turn, creates the opposition we observe.
- trilbyglens 3y agoMost Americans are sort of afraid of walking.
- digging 3y agoNot afraid. Disgusted.
