Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Did you know the site walkscore? It give a score to a region based on his walkability. I'm impressed that my neighbourhood here in Recife, Brazil, got a score of 97 (Walker’s Paradise)

i believe i've seen this embedded on real estate listing sites before, and i don't think they mean the kind of walkability you and i are thinking of. they seem to only consider the immediate residential area and how easy it is to take leisurely walks, not walk to actual destinations and businesses. so suburban sprawl would probably be considered like an 80-90

The walk score is based specifically on how close businesses, groceries, transit stops and schools are to walk to.

Edit: you probably should have actually looked into it before assuming, because it is literally the opposite of what you said.

Walkscore gives very inflated ratings.

I love it! We just moved into our first owned home this weekend and today. A big part of our hunt was finding a place with great walkability, transit, and bike routes. We managed to find a place with three light rail lines and three bus lines on it. Not too shabby.
