One thought on walkability and distance. I have no idea what the standards are for "walkable" with regard to TOD and other projects. What I do know from my own experience of living in truly urban areas for many years is that it's quite easy to walk a mile or two or three before realizing you've even made it that far. It's all in the atmosphere, if others are walking also, street interaction, shade (important here, obviously), etc. A 1/4 mile radius seems a bit silly to me, personally. My son could sometimes do a couple miles at 1.5 years when we lived in China.
No offense intended here at all, JAM, since you posted that - just my thoughts on that little bit from my own experiences.
