It's a shame that the whole "walkable city" concept has become a bit of a meme in the US - it truly should be a thing that we all strive to create - to nurture in-person relationships through the physical design of the space.

While gender-affirming care and bodily autonomy is (obviously) a critical point, I am very much also talking about factoring in crime. There is no way I'd live in SFO/LA/NYC/SEA.
