Like if it’s even an option for you at all, make the move. It’s such a better quality of life it’s crazy, cannot be exaggerated.

Obviously not easy, but if it’s even at all potentially feasible do what you can to make it happen.

That’s also the nature of urban development in the United States. Highly walkable areas are gonna correlate with those that are getting all the “revitalization funds” that build new infrastructure. We already know that American cities don’t want to invest in the areara as they exist.
