As someone living in a walkable European city, this is kinda funny cause we're still miserable. We do have the choice to walk away from our problems tho
It could be a contributing factor, but it’s very inappropriate and idealist to think it could solve ALL America’s problems. Our country is extremely diverse and requires equally as complicated solutions in many cases.
@@lucaslebron2134 but it’s assumed that everything everyone needs is walkable. It would never be like the interstate but with walking. Our current state of things funnels whole metropolitan areas in and out of a small number of places, neighborhoods wouldn’t usually feel like that. Or that way non stop.
@@lucaslebron2134 well yeah but are you expecting all other neighborhoods to cycle thru yours almost daily? The idea is one could be sustained within 1 or 2 neighborhoods for the most part. (Direct community sizes may vary)
There's nothing magical about it. For a deeper dive on how social infrastructure reduces income inequality you'd probably love the books, Palaces for the People by Eric Klienenberg, City Limits; Infrastructure and Inequality by Megan Kimble and Restorative Cities by Jenny Roe.
@@U.V_30 wouldnt need a whole essay. I guarantee someone who actually understands the topic could explain it in five sentences or less. All of the other ones could easily be explained in one sentence, snd you expect me to believe this one requires an essay?
@@U.V_30there are plenty of amazing channels on TH-cam and TikTok dedicated to urban planning, walkable cities, public transportation... very eye opening & informative.
First Jane Jacob’s, “Death and Life of Great American Cities”. “Walkable Cities” by Jeff Speck “Street Fight” by Janette Sadik-Khan. “Street Smart” by Sam Schwartz
This n is literally the answer. Nothing says climate science denial like driving a Tesla is record breaking low temps,wind speeds and snow fall on the commute from the Suburbs!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 while you see people with gas generators charging teslas yeah that worked out real well rather have a gas engine Lisa I don’t have to sit in line for five hours. “This n”? Huh? Write words.
The most white privilege answer ever. My town, which is considered within the NYC metro area, doesn't even have bus service. We have mountains, not so walkable. As a teen, if I needed to get to work and had no ride, I was walking an hour. Wow, do better, you embarrass me.
She clearly said walkable cities with good public transport. Having them would eliminate the need for cars which not everyone can afford...so which do u think is more privileged? U just embarrassed yourself.
Only people who think this is a good idea clearly have never been grocery shopping with small children. Where both housing and groceries are actually affordable.
@monash4250 how so? Here, all those closer grocery stores are way more expensive. Almost at convenience store level pricing because that is what they are convenient.
yes yes yes ++++ everything

We appreciate your honesty and sense of humor 😊🙏🏼
Preach girl!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

The US is not as diverse as u think it is. Also walkable cities are universal & agnostic to variability in regional & local trends.
Too many people everywhere walkable cities

@@aanrsshnsn see that’s debatable tho because we’re talking about cities. Areas with large populations no matter what

My answer is walkable acreage 😂
Everyone buys stuff online at the best prices. A walkable city can't be maintained without consumers support.
You still have to leave your house to shop
I would love to know how walkable cities somehow magically reduce income inequality

I'm curious, where can I find books on walkable city infrastructure? It sounds like a pretty interesting topic!
First Jane Jacob’s, “Death and Life of Great American Cities”. “Walkable Cities” by Jeff Speck “Street Fight” by Janette Sadik-Khan. “Street Smart” by Sam Schwartz
Happy City By Charles Montgomery is another great one!
What books did you read? I’m considering going to grad school for urban planning
So many! We’ll see if we can post a list here, but a great start is Jane Jacobs’ classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities
@@JaimeandJosh That looks like a great place to start, thanks!
But I don’t want 15 min lock in cities
What's a "lock in" city?
This n is literally the answer.

Ah the classic Klaus Schwaab. Good on you for reading.

U so realize that having walkable cities with local shopping would make things more affordable.
