If you hear a politician or commentator mention “walkability,” that person is probably a Democrat or a liberal.
That’s a shame, because walkability should be a conservative concern. Specifically, conservatives ought to help parents have more kids and help kids have lower-tech childhoods with more freedom. Neighborhoods where kids can walk around are neighborhoods where families will flourish and civil society will blossom.
