“10-15 minute walk”
A quaintly American complaint. A 10 minute walk being an issue is very a learned helplessness my fellow Americans suffer from.
But unfortunately the 10-15 min walk is only possible in a couple cities. most Americans day to day experience of public transit is spaced out buses that don’t work well for single family sprawl and strip malls parking lots where walking is treated as undesirable. Car oriented rather than people oriented urban planning (or lack thereof) is the original cause.
It could be 10-15min where I am blasted by -10c wind in Boston or Miami torrential rains
Door to door shelter and climate control >>>>>>>>>>>
As someone who lives (and doesn't own a car!) in the Boston area, coats do wonders :)
I even got a heated jacket this year! Talk about climate control.
Because the weather in walking cities is perfect?
