A new survey asks: “If you were moving to a new home, would you be willing to spend more to live in a community where you could easily walk to parks, shops, and restaurants?” Here’s how people responded.
wow… I genuinely have no idea how to respond to that.
No, I am not fucking calling walkable cities racist. I have no idea what kind of insanity is going on in your head, but not everyone who… points out that “walkable cities” are a desirable place to live are evil racists.
I am pointing out that there are countless things that make a home more appealable. A lot of them are based in racism because it is targeting rich white boomers and their rich white children because our economy is fundamentally broken. And having public transportation and nearby amenities is one of those things.
I hope you’re doing okay. That response seems a bit manic and times are tough.
I just wanted to chime in saying the rich racists I know payy extra to live up hill from the nearest store or bus stop. They don’t want the riff raff getting near their house and a nice steep hill does wonders.
They acted like I was crazy for wanting access to public transit and shopping two blocks away.
Are you somehow trying to connect walkable cities to racism?

Actually the opposite, suburbs were born out of racism. Look it up.
