Define walkable.

I can walk to literally everything I need in my daily life except my job, and the share of residents lucky enough to work in the city can walk or bike to those too. My city scores incredibly high in both walk and bike scores; this drives real estate prices up, which drives employers to the suburbs, and—wouldn’t you know it!—the cheapest places to build office parks are situated away from the commuter transit.

Walkable: jobs, homes, and basic essentials shopping coexist near enough to each other.

It’s not walkable if you only have 2 out of 3.

except my job

That's not walkable. The definition is not that difficult

The definition is not that difficult

Idk if you’re trolling or just obstinate, but if you don’t explain the exact definition you are using, it is impossible to determine what meets it and what does not.

For example:

Walkability is a measure of how accessible services and amenities are by foot or transit. A city is walkable if a broad range of these are thusly available.

They’re not being obstinate. You are working very hard not to understand that your job has to be walkable too.

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 7 points 20 hours ago

Sure, your definition works. Your place of work is obviously included into the list of location that needs to be accessible, since it's somewhere you commute to almost every day.

[-] platypode@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

Fair enough, but I would contend “a broad range” is compatible with “all but one”

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 19 hours ago

That depends. If the one that is excluded is the majority of your destinations, I'd say it is in fact required to be walkable

Let me just walk my 315lb welder to work each morning. Can I borrow your kids radio flyer after you walked them to school?

[-] RoddyStiggs@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

If your job makes you take a welder home with you at night, you need a new job.

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 1 points 16 hours ago

If only the only people that use cars on a daily basis were the ones that actually need to, maybe you wouldn't be so bitter and angry about it.
