This terrific
blog post from
Better Cities and Towns, illustrates so well the truth that distance is less important than high levels of "walk appeal", such as we have in so many San Francisco and Marin neighborhoods.
Streetsblog also
addresses this. We know this intuitively, and walk appeal is fueling
higher real estate values in walkable neighborhoods. People who live in places they are drawn to walk are generally
healthier. If you are new to San Francisco, or even if you're not, check out
City Guides, they do free and awesome walking tours.
We will walk for miles if the experience is interesting, dynamic, and human scaled. Also, we will walk for miles on
lovely trails, which SF and Marin have in abundance. OK, time to get away from the computer and go for a walk!
