That's why "walkable cities" was also mentioned in the OP The idea is that neighborhoods are actually built to be communities where the things people need or would want to go to are within a safe walking distance away versus having these weird isolated pockets of suburbia where you have to get in your car and drive 3-5 minutes down the street to the nearest corner store because the stroads are so pedestrian-unfriendly. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:969006179] in Many of th...

The point is that you're not going to find people living in smaller towns or less populated areas, which seems to account for most of the population, particularly caring about the issue when it doesn't directly impact them in any major way. Basically, we can improve things, but the initial premise of the topic is flawed unless you're specifically talking about a demographic that would be massively impacted by such improvements. <cite>Nemu posted [p:969006301] in Many of th...
