How walkable is your neighborhood? (infosec.pub)

The US has a lot of places that are car-dependent. You can live in walkable areas, but those can also have much higher cost of living. Where did you end up on that spectrum for where you live right now?

Normal spring time can get me jack in the box within a 45minute downhill walk. Or Von's in an hour twenty? Then you have to come back home in maybe double the time.

In winter time good luck not dying within a couple of blocks. End up as a Popsicle on the road. Thus bus stops don't actually provide a useful car-less system for us. Heck even cars don't do so well around December/January time.
