Your Walk Score

[dps]

It can't even find my current address.  I figure that means it's not a very walkable neighborhood, which of course I already knew.

Not sure if we've done this before - here's a site for rating how "walkable" your neighbourhood is:

http://www.walkscore.com/

My area's score = 78.

I'm almost positive this was on the last site, and I think you brought it up.

Walk Score:  26 out of 100 —  Car-Dependent

Unsurprising, if unfortunate.

My last apartment above the bar I worked at: Walk Score:  95 out of 100 — Walkers' Paradise

[Martinus]

57, but I suspect the map of Warsaw may be not up-to-date.

I mean, within a walking distance from my flat, I have my work office, four cinemas, three theatres, two gay clubs, three fitness clubs, two shopping galleries, two public libraries, two post offices, three parks, countless shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs, and a metro station.

Edit: Oh, and the Polish Houses of Parliament ("Sejm"), several ministries, most embassies, at least five major hotels and like a cartload of churches.

Hell, if it wasn't walkable (I don't own a car) it would hardly be navigable at all, because it's like some protest or march going on every second day or so in this area.

20 at home. No surprise, it sucks. Though they do completely miss the existance of the supermarket a mile away and instead give me one 4 miles away.
Here they give me 12. Again missing a supermarket a few dozen feet away and pretty much everything else in the city instead directing me to Stockholm...

I knew you were a lawyer but...damn you sound rich.

43. But mostly, because the next drug store is listed as 43km away (when in fact it's more like 40 meters); similar with library, fitness club (I see one from my kitchen window, two blocks from here). Movie theater 1.2km? Maybe. 2 stops with the subway. Bookstore 2.5km? Also not true. Hardware stores are also within ten minutes on foot.

[Eddie Teach]

Sounds like it's mostly Europeans having trouble with an incomplete map.

I got a 42.

Walk Score:  34 out of 100 —  Car-Dependent

I don't have a car and walk almost everywhere, as said above the european maps are incomplete

Well, my flat is smallish (one small bedroom, one living room, small bathroom and kitchen) but it is quite cozy and comfortable, and has a great location. I was lucky enough to buy it unfurnished and in a bad need of a renovation (some old lady used to live there before, and when she died her children - who lived in a different city - sold the place) before the real estate bubble began to grow, so I pretty much got a 500-600% return on my investment (probably a little less now as the bubble has burst and the prices started to fall again).

83. my place in my last city was 78.

incomplete addressing of googlemap noted. it should be higher...except the LCBO would remain a mile away in any case.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

but I knew this:  Walk Score:  91 out of 100 —  Walkers' Paradise

Hilarious though, my store is listed as a cinema.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

well it's a big part of why I don't drive. I don't need to. Never have the whole time I've lived in Vancouver. other hoods I've lived in are almost as "walkable"

[jimmy olsen]

Got a 55. Seems low, the neighborhood is very walkable. Bars, churches, a pharmacy, restaurants, liquor stores, supermarkets, a baseball field, police station, two elementary schools, a middle school, and a library all within a mile and a half, and most of that's with .75 miles.
