THIS. Also, if the people who work in your apartment buildings in your cities live so far away that they have to drive to work then you don't live in a walkable city.
This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.

Don’t expect autistic people to be able to make "an instant transition from one thing to another, especially if it’s unexpected. It’s hard enough changing tracks even when we know what’s coming." By @fergus.oolong.co.uk, at TPGA:

A study shows a cow using a "multi-purpose" tool — a broom, for scratching.
"multi-purpose tool use... is extraordinarily rare. Beyond humans, it has only been shown convincingly in chimpanzees."
Another example of "this animal is smarter than we thought"
