In urban areas, you can absolutely make the areas walkable. More mixed use neighborhoods with no parking minimums and good public transportation


Yeah, you are ignoring that places like Asecension Parish or Walker are considered urban. The amount needed to make these areas walkable with public transit is just an ignorant use of money.

Especially when those who live there don't mind the inconvenience.

You can make an area more walkable and bike friendly. You lack imagination.

The amount needed to build and maintain the roads is an ignorant use of money as well.

That's fine; I advocate for walkable cities and I chose the best neighborhood that I could for that in HTX.

The less cars and more walking and biking in urban areas is just better for everyone. It's not a debate.

And by urban areas, I am talking about large metros, not Walker.
