In America, there are five walkable cities. Disneyland and Disneyworld are two of them.
@SwiftOnSecurity What are the other 3?

@jonm @SwiftOnSecurity NYC, Chicago, and maybe SF? Or Boston. Not sure which.
@jonm @SwiftOnSecurity It may depend on how you define walkable. Central Philadelphia is dense enough to get around on foot (more safely around some streets and blocks than others) and satisfy most of your needs, while some of the outlying neighborhood business districts are nicely compact and walkable but don't serve as full a range of needs. And in pretty much all these cities (including the Disney ones) you need good transit to get between walkable areas.
@SwiftOnSecurity those aren't cities they're neatly-packaged hells
@luciano @SwiftOnSecurity
If you're in Miami Beach, I guess you'd know.
@forpeterssake @SwiftOnSecurity Significantly nicer and more walkable imo :)
@SwiftOnSecurity Given its compactness, Boston/Cambridge should be one of them, but it's surprisingly unpleasant to walk some routes.
@fullyabstract @SwiftOnSecurity and inhospitable to human life for a fairly large chunk of the year, unless you have snowshoes to get over the banks the plows leaves, and a nice warm coat.
@SwiftOnSecurity at Disney World, only if you allow for mass transit in the form of monorails and gondolas. The Magic Kingdom is extremely walkable, but WDW as a whole is %##@@ huge.
@SwiftOnSecurity Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom are the other three?
@SwiftOnSecurity I find Vegas to be walkable, now if you’ll excuse me I am running late for pouring hot sauce into my eyes
@SecureOwl @SwiftOnSecurity Vegas is walkable as long as you remain indoors. As soon as you have to cross a street the façade falls apart.
@SwiftOnSecurity I don’t have enough pigeonholes for the pigeons of Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City
@SwiftOnSecurity my brother in law, who lives in a car dependant suburb, described his neighbourhood as walkable because there is a walking trail nearby for people to get exercise.
@SwiftOnSecurity basically everywhere is walkable if you tweak the requirements doc
@SwiftOnSecurity Our state capitol Montpelier would like a word. I know many people don't think an 8K city is really a city but, hey, state Capitol. Only real downside is the train station is a bit outside of town.
@jessamyn @SwiftOnSecurity it’s ok you can take the gondola or a moose go catch the train
@SwiftOnSecurity what impresses me is how many cities are simultaneously un-walkable and un-driveable. People seem happy that cities no longer regularly burn to the ground, but maybe it’s a feature to be able to start from scratch every once and a while?
@Jbw @SwiftOnSecurity yah know, you might be on to something with this
@SwiftOnSecurity people will pay a surprising amount of money to experience the kind of minimal walkability that exists in basically every other country on earth
@SwiftOnSecurity @zak idk why I laughed so hard at this. Probably because it’s true 🥲
@SwiftOnSecurity And all the other three have a lower COL.
@SwiftOnSecurity they also have amazing public transportation.
@SwiftOnSecurity Ha, never thought about it like that, no wonder I didn't mind wandering around there, felt a little like Europe.
@SwiftOnSecurity Let me guess: The other 3 are cruise ships?
@SwiftOnSecurity Also Vancouver, BC. (That’s America, don’t @ me.)
@wjs @SwiftOnSecurity As a Canadian, *NO!* Our intense desire to never be confused with the USA overrides our normal fondness for pedantry in this one specific case.
@SwiftOnSecurity if DW was walkable there wouldn’t be a monorail
@SwiftOnSecurity I think you mean in the USA. In America there are several more.
@SwiftOnSecurity
SwiftOnSecurity, welcome to The War On Cars.
@SwiftOnSecurity boo. come to Canada. There are a ton of walkable cities, tho we can’t guarantee you won’t get kidnapped, eaten, stomped on, beaked, clawed, or swallowed by some of our animals pals 😊
@SwiftOnSecurity Cities are walkable, at least in some amount of the historic neighborhods. I'm in St. Louis MO, and do not have to get in a car at all. Husband even walks or bikes to his federal government job. True for every city, though freeway overpasses make walking less pleasant than it would be.
