@UnconventionalEmma And the suburbs are designed so you can’t walk anywhere, and the green spaces have been built on, and cycling is dangerous, and schools have sold their playing fields, and air pollution is at dangerous levels so you can’t go out, but of course it’s our fault we’re fat.

"Planners" have an adorable way to discuss whether a community is "pedestrian scaled" or not. THE ICE CREAM TEST: If a fourth grader can peddle their bike somewhere in relative safety to buy an ice cream cone, the community passes the ice cream test and is considered pedestrian scaled! I love this.
