re: #9 lawhawk

One of the reasons I chose where I now live (Radburn, NJ) is precisely because the community was based not around cars, but on being able to walk to everything. It was one of the US’s first planned communities and is a model for others that have come since.

That’s terrific. Too bad there aren’t more. You have a point about the NIMBY factor. I well remember going to the supermarket in NYC one day; by the time I got back they’d painted a bike lane down my street.

I was like, damn, I know the neighbourhood’s gentrifying, but this fast? About a month later the fancy wine shop opened. Pretty sure the rents started going up with it.
