The "walkability" obsessed are becoming insufferable
- marssaxman 1y agoAfter you've had a taste of life in a walkable neighborhood, it is really hard to go back.
- 1234letshaveatw 1y agoIt's much harder to give up having a large piece of property
- marssaxman 1y agoWhat does the property do for you, I wonder, which makes it worth the maintenance? For me, moving to a townhouse was a genuine relief - no more yard work making unwelcome demands on my time! The old place was not a large property, though, just an ordinary suburban-style lot.
- 1234letshaveatw 1y agoI'm sure I'll feel that way when I am retired
- mikewarot 1y agoI live in a walkable neighborhood... I see people going past to use the trail at the end of the block all the time. There are plenty of food establishments within walking distance from me. The problem is there's one of THE major expressways through the US that goes around the southern end of Lake Michigan about 1 KM north of us, and our main street often, and unpredictably, is forced to handle most of that traffic. I maintain we're in a special case, for just 3 roads (Ridge, Calumet, and 45th) walkability should only be a secondary concern, not the primary one.
