  Define walkable.

  I can walk to literally everything I need in my daily life except my job, and the share of residents lucky enough to work in the city can walk or bike to those too. My city scores incredibly high in both walk and bike scores; this drives real estate prices up, which drives employers to the suburbs, and—wouldn’t you know it!—the cheapest places to build office parks are situated away from the commuter transit.

    That’s not walkable. The definition is not that difficult

        Sure, your definition works. Your place of work is obviously included into the list of location that needs to be accessible, since it’s somewhere you commute to almost every day.

        They’re not being obstinate. You are working very hard not to understand that your job has to be walkable too.

      Let me just walk my 315lb welder to work each morning. Can I borrow your kids radio flyer after you walked them to school?

        If your job makes you take a welder home with you at night, you need a new job.

        If only the only people that use cars on a daily basis were the ones that actually need to, maybe you wouldn’t be so bitter and angry about it.

    Walkable: jobs, homes, and basic essentials shopping coexist near enough to each other.

    It’s not walkable if you only have 2 out of 3.
