I am assuming thats in reference to me? If not then im not sure what your comment is getting at. I didn’t say anything bad about living in a walkable city. I do live in a walkable city. We have public transport though so I usually just take the bus to work.
You said that the reason is because they can not afford a car. But when you live in a walkable city, you do not need one. It is more of a detriment since you still need to store it somewhere and pay taxes on it, even when you don’t use it.
So yes, you were attacking being able to live in a walkable city.
You saying you live in one now just makes you look like a hypocrite.
Nah lil bro, you misunderstood. I never said he couldn’t afford a car. I claimed he didn’t own one. I suggest reading comments more carefully and not trying to jump to conclusions.
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.

some people don’t like having overpriced housing costs that don’t include even a quarter acer of land
