    This sounds like a guy who is upset that he cannot afford a car so he comes up with reasons why its bad to own one and better to be in his position but due to lack of car owner experience just fucks the numbers all up and then looks stupid.

      This sounds like a guy who is upset that he doesn’t live in a walkable city so he comes up reasons why it’s bad to live in one but due to lack of walkability experience just fucks the arguments and then looks stupid.

          I don’t think there’s a significant correlation between walkable cities and higher real estate prices. There are plenty of unwalkable cities with high real estate prices and vice versa. That’s more a product of a large number of factors, from average income to density to quality of education and beyond. Walkability could be one of those, but I am doubtful it is a primary one, at least in the US.

          Rent is 300/mo/2bd here. 2 grociers and a market are 5 minutes by bike. You can park within a few feet of your destination because of how dense parking bikes is. This is the 6th city I’ve stayed in where this is true, more if you’re a little looser with the requirements.

      Doesn’t sound like that at all. Ridiculous that there are people who think a car is a necessity. It might be a necessity in most of the US, you can thank car manufacturer for that. I’m fine using my feet, bicycle or train. If I need a car I’ll borrow or rent one.
