The comments make it clear that more public education is needed, as this (along with any sort of article like it) inevitably triggers a deluge of "hurr durr but I don't want to live downtown", as though the only options were Portage and Main or Niverville with no in between. All neighbourhoods can and should be more walkable, whether it's Osborne Village or Sage Creek.
