"Walkable city" is not "City where to have to walk everywhere."

"Walkable city" is.

Sidewalks big enough to fit you, your stroller, your wheelchair, your guide dog, or anything else you need when you're getting from one place to another.

Safe crosswalks frequent enough so you don't need to walk in traffic.

Bike lanes to keep bikes out of foot traffic and car traffic.

Accessible and affordable public transit.

Cities where the essentials are close enough you can travel on foot (or in wheelchair)

Cities where it's reasonable to be able to get from point a to point b without requiring you, yourself, to drive

People get so caught up in the "Walkable" part of the term and like to spout "Walkable cities are abelist because not everyone can walk".

Bitch. The modern city structure is abelist because not everyone can drive. And classist because not everyone can afford a car and it's pretty damn impossible to get a job if you don't have a car.

Walkable cities are cities where people can reasonably get from pointA to pointB without requiring a motor vehicle.

"But fae. Disabled people have issues using the paths in modern cities." Bitch abled people can barely use the paths in modern cities. That's kind of the fucking problem.

Also walkable cities have fucking benches. Not only for disabled people. But sometimes you just twist your ankle and need to sit for a moment.

"Put fae. If you have benches, homeless people will sleep on them."

Then get fucking housing for the homeless. Problem solved. They'll sleep in their nice warm homes instead of on the benches.

Additional things I’d like for the Walkable Cities:

-Water-Fountains. Just, free, public water-fountains. Maybe also get the kind that has the “for dogs” lower spigot/bowl thing? But definitely water-fountains.

-Public Parks (at least those that reach a certain size) should have Public Restrooms. Again, this just makes life better for everyone.

...this is how I found out water-fountains aren't (very?) common in the US.

I googled a bit, it turns out Bucharest has over 100 public water-fountains (or they did cca 2019, link for pics with text in Romanian). They have a map showing the locations of water-fountains and public restrooms: https://hip.pmb.ro/hip/

Because it's a government website, it's a bit crap and you have to zoom in before by pressing the + sign in the upper left corner. It's also available just in Romanian, but you can recognize the icons: a little toilet sign for restrooms (small woman|small man figures, black on white) and a little faucet sign for water-fountains. They're more common in the city center, getting less common the further you go away, I think.

If Bucharest can do this, so can [insert your city here].

i love how in the new episode of The Sandman you can tell that even though they say that "[Calliope] was Homer's Muse" Homer did not force her to inspire him like Erasmus or Richard but rather respectfully prayed to her like the goddess she is from the fact that these are the first lines of the Iliad and the Odyssey:

"The wrath sing, goddess, of Peleus' son, Achilles [...]"

"Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero [...]"

he did not try to pretend like those ideas were his, but actually thanked her and praised her in his work

Dreams shape the world...

I'm getting ready for The Sandman, if you can't tell.

I've always been fascinated with the story, even though I am also fairly new to Neil Gaiman's telling. I'm also hoping Netflix will be able to give it the proper showing it deserves.
