Having recently taken a trip to NYC; this is so true. I got more exercise than I normally ever do, felt great, and never once thought about traffic. Walkable cities are amazing.

Wish I could invite twice
Yes, nice thread with so many different people and opinions in it. Very nice, indeed.
This sentiment is great, but I have 2 dogs, and play loud drums, and have loud dirt bikes...neighbors would hate me.
On the metro in my city, the dogs are better behaved than the humans, and the drummers get tips. You could just ride your dirt bike to places instead of transporting it on a truck.
so long as you're willing to pay the actual cost of such a lifestyle, but unfortunately you're almost certainly not doing so, because if you did you'd be complaining about how expensive it is.
I have enough as it is. I'm just trying to put in perspective why some people see this as unlivable conditions for them. You can't put an outdoorsy family of 5 in a tiny apartment.
I agree. But for me is to have many more options around walking cities, but they should not forced to everyone.
