Yeah, visited a few smaller cities in Spain and they were all very nice and walkable, at least in the areas I was at. Made me kinda sad to think about how we miss the mark on this.
Feels like NYC is the only place, and it's great, just expensive to live in.

Generally, the older the city the easier these neighborhoods are to find. even LA has walkable neighborhoods (even though you'll still need a car to get around in general). But yes... expensive.
- bin_bash 3y agomost college towns, for example
- blueyes 3y agoMany parts of SF are walkable and many neighborhoods within the city do not have the crime problem that is so visible downtown.
- Zigurd 3y agoBoston and San Francisco are walkable, too, but on a much smaller scale. There are small cities, mainly in the eastern US that are walkable. I hope the rising popularity of e-bikes makes some lower density cities more navigable without a car. Pretty much all "stroads" should be converted to 2 car lanes and a turning lane in the middle, which would leave room for protected bike lanes.
