Well, also to be clear and to make absolutely sure everyone's on the same page about it, walkable neighborhoods are not what people want in the South, and the only reason anyone would ever live in such in the South is when their desired vinyl-sided crackerbox in The Townes at Olde Oake Harboure Pointe Mountaine Orcharde Viewe (Phase III) was already snatched up by a Northerner who shuns walkability. Such neighborhoods are scorned in the South.
