I wonder how many people here actually practice what they preach? Not many I'm sure, I can smell the the hypocrisy. Rules for thee and not for me is the rule of the internet.

So let's post our walkscores and let's see how bad things really are. If any of the there numbers are under 90 you don't belong here.

What is a walkscore? Google shows some kind of US house/Apartment sale site

>>1977050 (OP)
I live in the midwest and we had 2 weeks of sub sero weather so the first score is going to be zero from everyone Minneapolis to Dallas.

>look up walkscore
>its a onions website trying to sell me urban loft backfill restomods

lol

>my city is flat and easily walkable
>we have a toy train streetcar for tourists and a free express bus (the MAXX) that goes everywhere from 6am to midnight

Urbanists are dumb I suspect they are just mouthpieces for the real estate complex. I live in the 'burbs and we have a supermarket .8 miles away and a bodega/gasstation/market .5 miles away. We have double wide sidewalks, we have a rail-trail I can literally hop on and travel across the state that's 3 miles north of me.

In the end you have to ask what do these people want? Is it not merely access but are they looking to fundamentally remake our country based on their insecurities (can't afford suburbs or AAA urban condos, can't afford car/sared to drive, etc).

>>1977082
Looks like it just shits itself once the score gets too low. And yes urbanists are just useful idiots for developers but we already knew that. They think they'll get free shit if they shill hard enough, very sad.

>>1977050 (OP)
No cars, about 100 km cycling weekly now during winter

I almost die a lot.

If you can stomach the drug use, HCOL and the housing crisis it really is a fantastic place to live. I bike to work every day.

This score is bullshit, it should be much lower. Small, Midwestern shithole town. No bike lanes, surrounded by cornfields, only roads in or out of town are 55+ MPH with jacked-up RAM trucks going 85+ MPH.

As soon as you ride your bike out of this town of 2000 residents, you WILL die.

>>1977214
Pretty sure it's supposed to be like the grading scale where 91+ is an A, 81-90 is a B, and so on, down to F which is in the 50s plus or minus a few. So if you're scoring in the 40s it's an F- and if it's a 22 it's like you were fucking up intentionally.

In short ,seems about right from what you described

>>1977234
Where do you live asshat. Probably some fuckshit suburb in the midwest. CA is the 6th largest world economy. Crazy opportunity here. You can get bent.

Bike score could be higher. There's no bike lanes but "downtown" is so small, cars can't go faster than 30 mph anywhere. There are some jank corners but generally if you can walk you can bike.

>>1977211

That looks comfy, too bad I have my own place

>>1977050 (OP)
>walk score of 50
>the only people who walk are actual black people who have to illegally cross the street because the crosswalks are 1 per mile

our bus system sucks but I can walk to the amtrak station in 5 minutes from my front door. california so can bike and walk 350 days a year

>>1977050 (OP)
place im moving into in under a week

>>1977344

where are you going that's a perfect score? I know sydney and london are up there, and basically nowhere else in the english speaking world

These walkscore systems are always junk, they literally can't tell the difference between what is a grocery store and what isn't, so it will rate the local gas station as the closest "grocery store" instead of the real supermarket.

>>1977566
What's a "gas station"?

t. 100

85, 55, 56. But i'm a vehicular cyclist and i live a block from the central bus station so i live within one hour of the entire city plus some suburbs. Walk Score is a great concept but after they published their site they gave up on improvements or keeping data accurate.

>I live in the 'burbs and we have a supermarket .8 miles away and a bodega/gasstation/market .5 miles away. We have double wide sidewalks, we have a rail-trail I can literally hop on and travel across the state that's 3 miles north of me.

urbanists would like where you live and much of the US is not like this. I had to walk across a freeway overpass with a maybe 4 foot wide afterthought sidewalk to get to any grocery store in my hometown.

You can associate urbanism with "I wanna live in the hustle.bustle.big city", but that's not what it's about.

You probably don't want to like urbanism bc you associate it with libtards. One of the largest urbanist grassroots organizations (Strong Towns) is conservative.

I tried to check this site for European cities but they don't even include them. They would need the scale to go up to 200 if they did desu.

>>1977592
>One of the largest urbanist grassroots organizations (Strong Towns) is conservative.
Lol. NJB, who he has worked closely with, admits there are lots of "leftists" (his word, not mine) at Strong Towns, Strong Towns is backed by a number of NGOs (hardly "grassroots"), and Marohn's political party is the "American Solidarity Party" which is a mix-and-match of different philosophies. The only vaguely conservative stuff is some social conservative policies like anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ stuff, along with pro-concealed carry, but that's about it. Everything else is out of the Democrat playbook, including pro-"social justice" including "efforts to address systemic and historic injustices" and fiscally liberal.

I like walking my dog in suburbia. I go to the park, today I got rained on. I go with my mom to keep her heart in better shape with mild exercise.

35 car dependent, 70 bikeability.
I used to walk to school in elementary, and then rode my bicycle to middle school, high school, and college.

I do errands on my bike or motorcycle/sidecar.

You can't stop me from posting here.

>>1977683
Marohn's whole schtick is "stroads are bad because they're fiscally irresponsible." There's def a large amount of 'RETVRN to 1950s small town Minnesota' in his work (have met him and read one of his books). And other than the anti-stroads position, which is really an engineering position, being anti-zoning, you can argue it's propertarian and from the right wing economics tradition. The "vaguely conservative stuff" you admit about his party is pretty far to the right of the median voter.

this is my particular neighborhood, but it goes way down if you need to go anywhere else in the city.

>>1977948
actually the neighborhoods are different than what i'm used to so it turns out there are different numbers. it does kind of suck to bike around unless you find the right streets so i'll give them that.

>>1977943
When it comes to putting anyone in power as far as city leadership goes, I'd rather put a Democrat in charge rather than a person who shares all the same bad traits but also wants to screw over my commute. Lesser of two evils, I say.

happy in suburbia- great road, gravel, and mountain bike riding straight from the garage and no people coming up from the city in the bus

>>1977957
I would normally vote right, but you can't bamboozle me into think Marohn is a "conservative" when you actually look at what's going on. If choice one is:
>gibs for darkies/illegals
>higher taxes
>not fucking over major thoroughfares

If choice two is:
>gibs for darkies/illegals
>higher taxes
>fucking over major thoroughfares

I'm going with choice one, sorry.

I'm pretty happy in Mid-City New Orleans. I got rid of my car and it made life a lot easier since I don't have to pay for insurance or worry about where to park.

>>1977943
1950s small town minnesota was basically socialist though. Unions and welfare programs were unquestionably Good Things(tm) even during the height of the red scare, taxing the rich was so obviously a good idea that anyone who said otherwise would have been seen as insane or stupid. Religion was a different matter. Antisemitism was mainstream, homophobia was normal, divorce wasn't really a thing. But relative to the country overall, small town minnesota was socially moderate for its time, and economically it was one of the most lefty places in the country.

The hard swing to the economic right was basically a consequence of agricultural and mining jobs vanishing by the 80s, anyone productive fled the small towns for the twin cities and cynicism gripped the remaining population. The right's power over rural minnesota only really reached hurricane force after Paul Wellstone was assassinated and the GOP's fearmongering about race and gender issues became their only publicly discussed policy positions nationwide. Without a significant pool of farm or mine workers, labor unions were irrelevant, so all that was left in politics was screaming about minorities. Without any school kids left, schools shrank and were consolidated and home schooling took off, leaving parents free to teach biblical science and ignore reality.

Of course, small town minnesotans are still happy to live off big gubmint giebs, but in their minds, that's not the same as "welfare" (which is something the "libs" invented to make black people vote for them). Most of them have now bought into the idea that they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Bernie Sanders is the bad guy because he has a $2 million dollar house and wants to raise taxes on billionaires, but the T guy is based because he's (supposedly) worth billions and wants to... hurt the right people, I guess? Trying to explain rightoid logic becomes difficult when you try to make it sound reasonable but that's another discussion.

Based, I'll enjoy my acreage

>>1980058
>fearmongering about race
Is it fear if it is really happening
>All race groups have grown recently in MN, but between 2010 and 2018, the state has added five times as many People of Color as non-Hispanic White residents
>Between 2010 and 2018, the fastest growing racial group in Minnesota was the Black or African American population, which grew by 36%, adding more than 96,500 people. Second fastest was the Asian population, which grew by 32%, adding 69,800

These figures (from mn.gov) are obviously not sustainable. In Europe africans have negative tax benfit, with somalis being one of the worst.
I would rather have good public transport and no somalis, than bad public transport and somalis.

I'm in Midtown Houston. I'm curious if they changed their calculation recently because I swore this was higher before, but either way I'd take it with a huge grain of salt. It's true the area I live in is more walkable than most in the city, I live pretty close to the one useful train line of the two light rails that we have, but I'd still say it would be incredibly inconvenient to live car-free here.

>>1980187
According to the website this is the 2nd most walkable area in Houston, so my advice would be to not move to Houston.

You can call me names all you want, but there's nothing ironic about it. I'm not gay, I'm not from California, but even if I were both, I'd still contribute far more to society with my life than you do, and I always will. You're just less intelligent than I am, and probably than most people, and there are certain things that someone as primitive as you literally can't aspire to.

The "notjustbikes" video where he talks about getting shot at with an airsoft gun in the back yard of a friend for entertainment, and it being like house arrest until I got a car hit close to home.
Comparing my childhood to my best friend's who grew up in a neighborhood with walk/transit/bike scores of 61/40/69, it's a whole different experience.
I had access to a small, minimal park without playgrounds or a skate park, one nature area with a bike path, a neighborhood Wal-Mart, and enough sticker weeds that a bike tire would get a dozen punctures per mile, and there were areas where they piled up enough that even skateboards and longboards could slip on them. The sticker problem has been eradicated since my childhood there. That Wal-Mart opening up was a huge event in my life for having something to do outside. There was a Wendy's and a taco bell built there when I was in my mid teens.
He had access to in short walking distance two great parks with jungle gyms and skate parks, the closer of them probably being the largest in the state, pools, a movie theater that at that time was cheap, now it's expensive, post office, print services, restaurants, a craft shop, video game shop, bike and board shop, etc. and a tram line that brought him to haunted houses in October, and the largest concert and sports venue in not just the state but the area of many adjacent states as well.
He grew up so socially and independent compared to me.

I live 1.5 blocks from a grocery store. Not a convenience/dollar store, one with fresh produce and pretty much any food/drink/everyday goods you can think of. Self checkout too. So fucking comfy to walk down, get what you need, and be back within 15 minutes. Finance wise I should buy a house at this point, but I don't want to give up the convenience.

Isn't casey neistat the guy who would performatively crash into stationary objects in the bike lane for youtube likes? And now he's being a cagebrain and acting like he was raped because a junkie broke into his cage when it was parked overnight on public land? Just goes to show you bike lane cultists are the most cagebrained humans (I use the term loosely) ever to exist. Forester wins again.

Oh well in that case Neistat is good in my book. Forester was right. Bike lanes are anti bike.

Could be worse.

Tried biking places, walking places. It's good enough, but only for preplanned routes that strategize side streets and 30-mph roads.

The car fags won. A long time ago.

old people are not good at judging speed or distance, that's why they shouldn't be driving but yimbys want to ban old people from taking the bus so here we are

gotta be BS. the bike lanes are completely disconnected and barely functional and most walking is beside extremely loud motorways. there is an express bus and the skytrain terminates here but 91 rider score makes no sense. also it sucks ass to drive too.

small new england city scored worse on biking than the small texas city i moved from, almost identical scores otherwise. on one hand, the hills in new england make biking considerably more difficult (but also fun); on the other hand, in new england i'm not prey to roaming packs of large dogs and lifted F-150s on the streets

the yimby astroturf (whose primary goal is to enrich real estate developers) has figured out that the easiest way for them to get a bunch of shrill, energetic supporters is to weaponize the angsty parent-hating fee-fees of manchild techbros who think the world exists to serve them at everyone else's expense. one of the best angles here is to manufacture a useless parasitic "other" that can consist of whatever group(s) you want. one such group is old people

in recent years, old people and their "entitlements" (such as having a bus stop near their home so they don't have to walk as far) have become a key target to the yimby colonial movement, the implied promise being that the olds can be eradicated and their property expropriated and given to yimby zoomers as a reward for supporting the developers. ref: elon levy et al

I don't disagree that the bike score should be much higher than the walk score, though the scores are generally brought down by the fact they added in a lot of rural areas where most of the housing and businesses aren't located.
I wouldn't give it a score higher than the mid-30s, but 19 does seem a bit low.
