non walkable areas

Every area is walk-able if you get rid of the 10 ton death machines barreling through them at 80 mph.

    people will totally still walk on unsafe roads, that doesn't make people's houses any closer to anything.

    when i was a kid i would walk in the Ditch on the side of unwalkable roads, playing frogger to cross. it took me 2 hours of waking to reach the closest business, which was a single gross gas station. that's why i didn't walk to commute and I'm an avid hiker. the small handful of times i went for it it took me all day to get to one store and back. spent 6 hours just to get to a store with fresh produce and back by foot.

    I get the sentiment but no

    Removing the cars would not magically make America walkable

    Walkability is a design issue not just whether it’s safe to physically be there on foot

    It would be necessary, but not sufficient.
