I don't know why people don't make walking a bigger deal in where they choose to live in the U.S. I love driving, but
A large part of the reason I've remained in New Hampshire is because my town is extremely walkable from my house, with several cafes, good restaurants, and my work all less than 10 minutes away by foot.
(Of course there are other reasons. I "run" a large victorian-era house and rent spare rooms to friends, living for effectively free. On the other hand, I also don't know why more young professionals don't do that, because the money I save is amazing, and the only downside are more chores, or people problems if you live with friends you end up not liking)
- cmbaus 14y agoFunny I used to live in a large victorian mansion in Epping years ago. I wanted to replicate something like that when I moved to Tahoe, but couldn't afford a property big enough to make it work out.
- eel 14y agoWow! Contrast that WalkScore to Phoenix. http://www.walkscore.com/AZ/Phoenix http://www.walkscore.com/AZ/Phoenix I'm originally from Phoenix, and it was always hard to imagine walking for any reason other than exercise when I lived there.
