How walkable is your city?
Friday, July 18th, 2008
It appears I live in a walkers’ paradise. According to Seattle based walkscore.com San Francisco was rated the most walkable city in the country. This may come as a suprise to people who live outside this seven-by-seven-mile square of cool and foggy hills. How often would you walk in these conditions? Chances are if you live or have visited San Francisco this comes as no surprise. Walking in San Francisco is one of the most enjoyable experiences. With skyrocketing gas prices and elusive parking spaces many of my neighbors, myself included have turned on a new engine - our own two feet. Great views and easy accessibility make this means of transportation worthwhile for my heart, pocket and most importantly the environment. Is your city walk friendly?
