One thing i really liked about SF was I had 3-5 parks walking distance depending on how far you wanted to walk. (no they werent filled with homeless people) Its also something that keeps me in california. The author is in brooklyn, near my family, and every time i go back to visit i go crazy. There isn't anywhere out doors to go. In the winter its cold, everyone just stays inside. Even with family, the whole point of visiting, it sucks. Big cities are fun for a few days but I need to be back where I can walk around with space.
- solardev 3y agoHave you ever visited the Adirondacks or hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail? I haven't spent much time on the east coast, but there's a little outdoor stuff, no? And I bet the fall colors are beautiful there in Central Park?
- xboxnolifes 3y agoI think the point was "in walking distance". The Adirondacks from NYC is an entire planned trip, with rental car. Maybe there are more accessible outdoor activities near the city, but that in particular is definitely not a spur of the moment trip.
- solardev 3y agoFor sure. I was just curious.
- tayo42 3y agoYeah there are places to be outdoors, I don't think its as casual access as California while living close to the things make density nice. I can go on a few different hikes right now within a 10 min drive of my house. I go on short hikes on work breaks. I also have an international airport 30 minutes away. I think this author is talking about the middle ground between remoteness with nature access and living in a place like brooklyn.
