A neighbor dropped in to share her comments about Smart
Growth. She lives in an old community which we would
probably label as being "close to downtown". This is what
she said:
I read your note in the Cantina about "smart growth".
Good points. But it's pretty hard to get people out of
their cars..even when things are close together. I could
walk to the post office, the movies, the supermarket, the
the stationary store, the library, the shoe repair, the
the hairdresser, city hall (all wtihin a half mile)..but
I couldn't carry much, or get it done as quickly as I need
to. On the other hand, if the car DIES altogether I'm
not completly stuck. Ann
