Jay-Z ironically living in maybe the most walkable city in the country.
I do wish the town I lived in was more walkable. You can but it's a bit big and sprawling residential areas so it takes a long time. Peninsula with most retail at the tip doesn't help. Cycling around is pretty good though.
Imagine how much money you would have if you didn't have to own a car
I don't have car and moneys
if you had a car you'd also have enormous crippling debt
Unfortunately, the most walkable cities tend to be the most expensive but wouldn’t be if it was like that everywhere. Pre-WW2 America was so cool because it had a balance of walkable cities with cars. You could still take a train from some middle of no where town to the big city because the town was built on the railroad…
Chicago my goat. Walkable. Bikeable. Public transitable. And not too bank breaking as long as you're willing to settle with an apartment, coop, or condo
Only 19?
Cops will still stop him going you've been walking 55 in a 54.
