I am assuming thats in reference to me? If not then im not sure what your comment is getting at. I didn’t say anything bad about living in a walkable city. I do live in a walkable city. We have public transport though so I usually just take the bus to work.
Comment on anon discusses car dependence
teletext@reddthat.com 1 month agoThis sounds like a guy who is upset that he doesn’t live in a walkable city so he comes up reasons why it’s bad to live in one but due to lack of walkability experience just fucks the arguments and then looks stupid.

You said that the reason is because they can not afford a car. But when you live in a walkable city, you do not need one. It is more of a detriment since you still need to store it somewhere and pay taxes on it, even when you don’t use it.
So yes, you were attacking being able to live in a walkable city.
You saying you live in one now just makes you look like a hypocrite.

Nah lil bro, you misunderstood. I never said he couldn’t afford a car. I claimed he didn’t own one. I suggest reading comments more carefully and not trying to jump to conclusions.

some people don’t like having overpriced housing costs that don’t include even a quarter acer of land

I don’t think there’s a significant correlation between walkable cities and higher real estate prices. There are plenty of unwalkable cities with high real estate prices and vice versa. That’s more a product of a large number of factors, from average income to density to quality of education and beyond. Walkability could be one of those, but I am doubtful it is a primary one, at least in the US.

Rent is 300/mo/2bd here. The grocier and 2 markets are 5 minutes by bike. You can park within a few feet of your destination because of how dense parking is. This is the 8th city I’ve stayed in where this is true.
