That's a 22 minute walk!

It's just a little over 1 mile. Is that impossible for a walk?

Nothing is impossible to walk if the person wants to do that. But data show that people consider walking distance to a regular commute to be 10 minutes or under. This journal article says walking distance is often considered to be less than 1/4 mile. You are not going to find those distances to metro in the Whitman district.

People need to adjust their ideas about walking distances. 1/4 mile is a 5-minute walk.

OP should just go to the track and walk a mile, and figure out how much of that OP is willing to do on a daily basis, both ways. And then decide. A mile would be fine for me to avoid having to drive, but it makes a 18-20 minute metro commute closer to 40-45 minutes, but think of all the health benefits!

Sure, you just get right on promoting that adjustment and let us know how it goes. But until then, be realistic about what people consider walking distance.

Personally, I'd prefer BCC too, but I think it's a GS6 for its PARCC scores these days. Sadly, many people get hung up on that.

Wrong. BCC is a GS 9 overall, and a GS 7 for test scores.

Yes, it's a GS9 overall and a GS7 for test scores. That's what the PP said.

The only meaningful and objective measure on GS are test scores. The other numbers they pull out of their a$$.

Same place as most of the opinions of the DCUM posters. At least GS documents how they get their numbers.

Whitman is a 4! I know the county has been changing but it's really gone downhill.

+1 If by walkable you mean a 20 minute walk, yes, possibly, but we moved to the BCC area to get much closer walkability to metro.
