We are looking at the possibility of moving as soon as our lease is up in April. I can't believe that it has been only nine months since I left my home, and what felt like my heart, in San Francisco. I have considered getting a car, but so many people are spending close to half of their income on their cars. That is not even including the cost of depreciation.
I also have other reasons for wanting to live where I can walk as much as possible. Whenever someone asks me a question such as "Do these pants make me look fat?" I am chewing my tongue not to say something like "No, but your SUV does." I really do believe that our obsession with driving -- to the extent that I am in awe of how many people I see driving through 24 hour fast food to eat what they cannot possibly burn off driving everywhere -- accounts for the obesity that I keep hearing keeps rising and rising in this country.
Which neighborhoods do you who know Orlando consider to be the most pedestrian-friendly?
