Fuck Cars

I have 11, outside Boston, but where is the train station in the survey?

• movie theater is 25 minutes fast walk, although past my threshold so I’ve always driven.
• why the eff would I want to walk to a gas station? If they mean convenience store, I have two even closer
• I prefer NOT to be near the things with large crowds: hospital, university, arena, mall
• hospital question is out of date, should really distinguish hospital from urgent care or doctors office

I lived near Fenway Park once, and it was horrible. Do not recommend. The positive was I could goto a game after work and look for half price tickets after they start, but freely choose not to go if I didn’t get my price. But the noise, the mess, and the crowds making things just unuseable was not worth it.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars can reach all of them, although depends on what is considered a “sport arena”. I'm shocked not to see a “church” as list option, though 🇻🇦

Surprised shooting ranges aren't on this list.

Other than the primary school (~20 minutes) and the physical bank, which we barely have any left off in Norway, they're all within 15 minutes.

- Trondheim

Shopping mall is the only one on the list I can't walk to in 15 min or less. Love living in a walkable city, it's so rare in America these days.

As someone who lives within 15 minutes ot a sports arena, i agree with not having one

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars 15 minute walk: Park, elementary school, bus stop, restaurant, gas station.

15-30 minutes: (I do walk sometime but usually bike): Grocery store, pharmacy, bank, barber.

I can easily bike, though not walk, to all of the rest except a university (which seems an absurd ask for a 15-minute neighborhood).

I live in Brooklyn. Almost all of these are well covered. It's pretty great. Hospital, mall, and sports arena are a little outside a 15 minute walk.

I think "places to see live music" should be on the list. There's one by me but it tends to be for bigger acts. If I want to see a smaller band play I usually need to travel a bit.

A lot of stuff actually, but I'm pretty damn lucky to like in a place that's somewhat walkable and not a death sentence to ride a bike in.

Manure, swamp, ticks, Coyotes (after dark at least), deer, bear

I can get to....more houses!

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars At the corner of my road, I have:
- Bakery (that took over the shops left and right because they kept winning awards)
- Pharmacy
- Post Office
- Women's Hairdresser
- Pizza, Chinese and Indian
- GP (although always booked out)
- Petrol Station chain which sells marked-up cornerstore stuff, don't get milk there it's 6 bucks

There's a brothel about 100 meters away. A doctor's surgery where I can get tested for STDs less than 50 meters in the other direction. A pharmacy within the same radius. A post office 8 minutes away, the gas station is across the road from the post office. Several hotels, bars and restaurants. A few convenience stores. Several fast food eateries. At least three gyms, three banks and a Greek Orthodox Church.

Disappointingly I only have the grocery store within that distance, and it's a Walmart with no sidewalk for a stretch of that walk... But back to that list... Why would you need a gas station within walking distance? Am I walking with my car Flintstones style?

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

In pretty central … all of them except I think a gas station.

My sister is fortunate enough to live close to a lot of this stuff.

And there are no sidewalks 😂

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I live in a rural village and can get to 11 of those within a 3 minute walk.

I'm moving to a large town soon where it'll go up to the full list.

I can't imagine having to drive everywhere.

@ajsadauskas in Umeå Sweden near campus I fall short of bank office whatever that is.. a movie theater and a gas station (it closed).

Such a list should have more focus on work places.. not only have "service", if we want o limit traffic :) Even though hospital and university has a lot of staff.

Office complex, hotels, branches of government etc.
