For anyone who lives in cities with half responsible urban planning, let me tell you: It's worse than you can imagine. It's genuinely unwalkable (I've tried, don't have a car) especially in the summer when you have zero protection from the sun. Also, this is technically the "downtown" with all the commercial/industrial areas. It's hard enough to walk through here, the distance between your 1M+ house deep in the suburbs to here is ten times greater, maybe it'll have sidewalks, or a bike path if you're really lucky.

Give me a godamn concrete jungle, we'll discuss aesthetics and blocking out light and the view out the window and all that later, at the very least you can physically access places you need to go.
