[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the US, developers build neighborhoods around the car. And so very little is walkable. Yet when people are searching for houses, they say they want to live in a neighborhood where they can walk to amenities. It seems like there is a disconnect between what developers think people want, and what people actually want.[/quote] But there's also a disconnect between what people way that they want and what compromises they're willing to make. Walkability to lots of things = high density = multifamily house and no/small yards. Most people want their single family houses with large yards AND easy ability to drive where they want to go AND walkability. In most cases, you're just not going to get everything, unless you luck out with the one or two SFHs in a district that are relatively close to the schools (but not right across the street where you get the bus traffic) and close to a couple of stores.
