[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with the benefit of walkability and always want that. The major issue is we are not able to have walkability AND Asian population. Walkability really exists in DC only, which has 5% Asians. At this moment, we are guessing that having Asian peers around is more important.

Happy to hear more about other parents' thoughts on this.[/quote]

Maybe as opposed to walkability consider bike-ability and public transportation routes?  I live just outside the beltway in MD. My MCPS middle schooler walks and/or bikes independently to: friends’ houses in the neighborhood, the pool, the local town commercial center with a 7-11 and other food options, the library. 8th grader has also taken the public bus to Montgomery Mall with friends (RideOn is free now) and walked or biked to where they need to get the bus.

It’s not the same as being close to Connecticut Ave in DC. But it does provide opportunities for independence if you are open to letting your teens have independence. [/quote]

It's really not the same. Why did you even post?[/quote]
