Not sure if this is your blog but good choice! This is certainly the main reason I live where I do. And I’ve never been happier.

There are so many benefits but an underrated one is I honestly think a lot of the lonely people out there might have a better time of it if they lived in car-free environments. There’s just something different about the way people interact when you see them incidentally all the time as you go about your business.

Like two of my best friends now I happened to meet at a neighborhood meeting. We chatted on the walk home but I’m shy so I probably never would have reached out to them. But then we happened to see each other on train and chatted more, and this kept happening and now we’re great friends.
