[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to be able to walk or metro to work (I walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to my childs school (my husband metros).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to playground (we walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to entertainment (we walk to dining, museums, etc.)  We walk to grocery store.

We do all of that in our VA neighborhood. [/quote]

For those of you who "have this in your VA neighborhoods" we no longer have a car, because we don't need one.  So, obviously you have managed to get by without a car because you can metro and walk everywhere?

You do what works for you, but I doubt that this manner of grocery shopping is a selling point in the eyes of anyone but a small majority.  It's basically what people do when they have to make do. Most people want to spend as little time grocery shopping as possible and to expend as little physical effort doing it as possible.  I don't want to shop every evening and carrying home a week's worth of groceries would be a form of torture to me. No thanks.
Not having a car is nothing to be proud of. Some families, like ours, live in walking distance to metro, schools and amenities AND have a car for the freedom it affords.  I don't covet the dubious glory of dragging bags of groceries home, either.[/quote]

I don't do my shopping at Costco or Whole Foods.

The Farmers Market and the grocery store are both on my walk home.  I can stop at either.[/quote]

All I'm saying is if that works for you, fine, but it has zero appeal to most people.[/quote]
