Relevant Precedent Article of Joy

And this:
I thought this was valuable information from real people about walking radius as a urban design standard vs real world practicality.

I know I've been a little AWOL but I've been tinkering in Google Maps making assessments and notes. I will translate this information into CS5 to make it more legible! But for now:
