Canada

I lived in the country most of my life and recently moved to a city. My city is far from walkable by any european sense of the term but I still manage the majority of my needs walking. I can't believe how much better it is. I really get to take in my community more by not zipping by it at 50km/h. Most of my walks I even have a short conversation with a stranger. I specifically try to avoid the larger roads because the car noise really does take away from this experience.

That's the best place you can live. If you can walk your entire neighborhood in 10 to 15 minutes walks and have access to a shops, bars, school, transit, groceries, pharmacy, it's heaven.

Neighborhood without cars should be a thing. We should not reserve precious spaces for car parking, like, ever.

Street are for the people to enjoy and the children to play. Not for cars. There are exceptions of course (emergency for example) but that's how I see it.

Cars really turned our city into junk. When you think about it, the best places are always the tight cities with small narrow street. It feels great to walk in those places.
