due to multiple spam attempts from Fizber, a commercial site attempting to promote its pro-driving agenda (and since there are few things I despise more than spam and driving), I’ve locked comments on this post.

Received an 88 here. I was dubious about my neighborhood on the part of a collection of neighborhoods question. But I thought about how plentiful the walkable venues for all sorts of activities are within say Wrigley Ville, or Lakeview. Well, at least I'd walk. I tend to consider my neighborhood pretty large.

Well, I'd say that a "drive score" kind of (no, actually completely, totally) defeats the purpose of encouraging walking for daily trips. Walking is good for you. Driving is bad for you, for your city, and for your planet. Oh yeah, and don't run around spamming pro-walking sites.

My walk score is 45… I was rather upset with it. And I was surprised to know that there is another score called drive score to evaluate my house. I found the way to calculate it online. I’ve got much better results – 83.

Great site. My place has a walk score of 88. Suck on THAT, Bobby Brady!
