I live in a town called Reston, one of the first planned communities in the US, and it has over 50 miles of walking paths. I walk my daughter to school and then walk my dog daily, and see so many older adults walking. Reston was really built as a place for "every stage" of your life and to "age in place" - the one downside is that older adults DO stay here, so it's been harder for younger families to move in :)

I grew up in Springfield and know Reston well.
Staying put is a dilemma, isn't it! "We want you to love this neighborhood for some years, and then make room for others."
Move it, or lose it. ;-)
This all seems so obvious, but???
“ Always remember: car traffic is directly related to neighborhood walkability.)”
I think that should be inversely related.
Ken, I already don't like adverbs. So it's extra painful when someone correctly points out that I misused one. ;)
Sorry, should I delete the comment?
No, you were right. I fixed it. :)
