[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Europe and walking was important to me, I didn't know about walk score but just looked ours up - it's 96.

I live in a 3 bedroom condo downtown, but I probably don't need/want as much stuff as most Americans seem to. You guys seem to always want more stuff.

We rarely drive and walk everywhere. Which is probably why we aren't as fat as most of you. [/quote]

I want you to take your smug ass outta here and STFU. Is that too mich "stuff" to want?[/quote]

Hit a little too close to home for you, PP?  Our European friend has merely pointed out a few facts -- do you disagree that in general Americans have more stuff and are fatter than Europeans?  Not need to take it so personally.  [/quote]

:roll:  Why come to a predominately American forum and be rude? And stop being such a sycophant.[/quote]

I am an American that grew up in the car-dependent suburbs of Fairfax county.  I lived in Europe in my late 20s/early 30s and grew to love the walkability and car-free city centers.  It completely opened my eyes and changed my perspective.

We came back and bought our first home in Dupont.  When we had second kid we moved to a close-in neighborhood with a 97-walk score and great public schools.  [b]Americans don't get this because it is counter-intuitive to the 1950s American dream--big yard, big house, etc.[/quote][/b]

So what you are saying is that we would allll change our minds if we had our eyes opened? Why are you so sure that your feelings would be shared? [/quote]
