Hardly a day goes by where I don't take a walk. And since I'm currently residing in the Phoenix area, it's hard to make excuses for not walking. Here's the problem... according to walkscore.com, I live in a "car-dependent" neighborhood with a score of only 31 (out of 100). I chuckle when I think that these suburbs are called "Master Planned" yet require you to own a vehicle to get to where you want to go. (Our daily coffee shop is 2½ miles away!)
Thank goodness my walks are mostly for exercise and my dog Elli, not necessarily for going to school or running errands. I am glad that there is plenty of breathtaking scenery to keep me content and there is always a new path or trail to take...which keeps things interesting. Good luck Suburbia in making it in the next 100 years.
