    We tried that a couple of centuries ago. It was okay, but eventually people grew tried of having to take transportation and moved into dense cities so they could walk everywhere.

    It is interesting that our high rate of obesity has us wanting to take transportation again just to avoid having to walk.

      I mean, I want to be able to buy a house without having to quit my job or lose my doctors, and until the government does something about short term rentals, speculators, and zoning buying something in the city is impossible.

      But sure. Call me lazy.

        Not unrelated. Cities have become tremendously less dense as people have moved away from walking. Crank up the density back to more normal levels and prices will come down.
