[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems people on DCUM who are mainly married couples want walkability to restaurants and bars.

Is it because they are alcoholics or drinks who can’t get in a car after going to a bar?

Are they swingers who want to bring other couples back from nearby bars and restaurants close by?

This is a silly post, but I will answer honestly.  Having to get in the car in order to go anywhere makes me feel like a prisoner in my house[/quote]

Ugh, what's even worse is visiting family in places where you can't leave without a car. They pick you up at the airport and then effectively hold you hostage for a week. We wrote up a guide to walking and getting around our neighborhood so that visitors can feel more comfortable exploring the city on their own. People seem to appreciate it, and they come back regularly.

So yeah, I guess walkability helps make us more popular.[/quote]

This is real. This is exactly what is stressful about visiting both my family and my ILs.

Though ironically, when our parents visit us, they are afraid to walk around our (nice! expensive!) neighborhood because they are so unused to walking around that it all terrifies them -- the sounds, the proximity of other people, etc. So they hole up in our apartment the entire time. It's depressing.[/quote]

Omg YES. This is exactly us.[/quote]
