Stop me if you've heard this one before.
It´s about leaving your home and having access to goods and services without having to rely on a car.
It´s about density. And community. And connectivity. Diversity. Public spaces.
It´s about challenging the dominant paradigm fed to you by the auto and real estate industries.
Some folks got together a great Google Maps mash-up. Enter your address and find out how you score in terms of walkability.
If anyone can come within 10 points of my old 92 point score, you'll win a prize. I don't know what type of prize yet, but it'll be good. One that won't cost me too much. Uh, I guess I'll buy you a beer. Domestic. And, uh, I'm not driving.
Is GM an "American" car company if most of the parts are made abroad?
Is Toyota a "Japanese" car company if the plant is located in the US?
