Living in a walkable neighborhood is a huge issue for me. Even when living in car obsessed cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta, I still migrated towards walkable neighborhoods with restaurants, bookstores, entertainment, and groceries all within easy strolling distance (if you’re curious, I lived in Hollywood and Midtown to accomplish those things).

I was as surprised as anyone that New Jersey turns out to be the state with the most “walkable cities,” according to this article.

I also want to bring attention to the picture they used – I am guessing it is San Francisco, but that’s not my point. There’s a Borders prominently featured in it. Kind of makes me sad.
