In some ways Phoenix doesn't need to develop a walkable city. It can play to its strengths, one of which is a top tier road system. Incremental improvements to walkability are fine, but I don't see them doing much to make carfree lifestyle reasonable anytime soon. Anyway improving transit would probably be more successful towards that goal since the city's already super spread out to begin with.
Hmm... Culdesac, the U.S.’s first, from-scratch car-free neighborhood, is coming to Tempe in 2020
My response was for informational data, not whether or not it matters enough to you for practical reasons. I'm getting an eerie sense of deja vu with this thread: https://www.city-data.com/forum/city...-metro-13.html
My point was not argumentative.Just factual when you are talking a difference of 20 minutes or so.If we are comparing metros and their positive and negative attributes then some things matter more than others.
I love the Valley, but haven't been out there in a while. The changes are impressive, I need to visit next Winter (hopefully).
I'm looking forward to all the reopenings paired with new openings post COVID, next winter should be a good time to visit with a lot of new projects wrapping up adding thousands of new urban residents. I live and work in Tempe so seeing what is happening here is pretty interesting, this area near University and Mill had no mid-rises just a few years ago.
This is my photo from a hike up A-Mountain in the fall.
Interesting, Atlanta is pretty low elevation where I come from.
So for example Charlotte is around 760' of elevation and Atlanta is at 1050', are you saying that 300' makes a notable difference?
