A walkability index is available here at Walk Score. I tried my house and got a 57/100. Not too bad. House in Texas got a 2/100. Kind of a no brainer but fun.
I believe that walk score is cool, but nowadays more and more people prefer to drive cars. Homes are often located in an area where some establishments are easier to get to by car than on foot. I've recently found a type of service on drivescore.fizber.com which is called Drive Score. It shows a map of what establishments are in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. It doesn’t mean that drive score is better than walk score – they are equal and both necessary in the modern world!
"In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell
"There is a difference between an ad hominem argument and a logical response.” Joe Biden
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Ben Franklin
"What do you get when you add Media to Democracy? You get Mediocracy." Peter Bergman
"The American Dream,...you have to be asleep to believe it." George Carlin
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer."
