How exactly is a city being walkable a bad thing?
How exactly is a city being walkable a bad thing?

I’ll try to play devils advocate.
The main issue of large cities today is housing accessibility. American car-centric infrastructure seems to solve that issue better, as people can live in suburb homes for cheap. „Walkable“ cities are dependent upon public transportation and can’t expand as fast.

Thats why people use trains though. In the US they just keep adding car lanes which causes crazy traffic

If people I don't like something it's bad
William Walker
True, but car centric infrastructure also wastes immense amounts of space (highways, gigantic motorway intersections, whole entire areas dedicated to parking, etc).
Besides what you point out can and has been solved by public transportation. Even before cars existed, at the end of the XIX century, the idea of taking a train or a tram and living in cheaper land further away already existed.

Its good, its just difficult to achieve.

How is that a bad thing?
Joseph Cox
Its not, but the bad realisation of walkability is bad
They did this in my city and what happened is now people prefer to avoid those shops where you cant park near and instead drive to hypermarkets and to other cities malls and buy from internet

You are just supposed to hate current thing, ok?

It's mainly because people advocating for walkable cities are cringe and soy

I'd rather have a big house than live somewhere "walkable".

Most German cities I know are walkable as well as accessible by bus/metro/car. They have large pedestrian zones where only delivery vehicles for the shops are allowed and that only from 22:00 - 09:30 or so. Parking houses are located around the old city walls, roads end there for normal cars. There may be metro or bus stations within the pedestrian ring.
That setup seems to work well. It first came up during the 1970s I think.

Its not. Its a good thing.

you're still trying to find efficiency in the equation
if it looks like shit, it's not worthy
