    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.

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

      @@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)

    Everyone buys stuff online at the best prices. A walkable city can't be maintained without consumers support.

    I would love to know how walkable cities somehow magically reduce income inequality

      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.

      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

    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.

      @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.
