The solution is to sells homes to companies so they can be closer to the rest of the homes....some homes will become Walmarts, others could be made into universities or schools or hardware stores or software companies. Blah....none of this we have here in Kenmore WA for example... You can walk to the nearest store during spring. In summer you might die from a heatstroke, in winter you might become a Popsicle before even getting to the store located downhill and to the east along the top of lake Washington. Its no joke. There are no homeless people looking thru my trash ever...because they literally can't physically make it. There's no point in collecting enough aluminum cans to eat if you need to eat more than that to collect the cans.

Its a dumb place, I didn't choose to be here but it was the place I could afford that was closest to work. Hint hint...its nice that the city is charging us like $1000 bucks extra this year to add and repair sidewalks. Continue! Add a bus station nearby and allow people to have business from home...which eventually could become a workplace. Go from a bunch of houses to a variety of buildings. I can dream. I just need to jump off my high horse.
