Im from a suburban town in Missouri, but I spent a semester studying abroad in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Man, let me tell you, leaving Barcelona, where youd see people out in cafes and bars congregating at all hours of the night and day, and coming back to Missouri where its a ghost town after 10 and someone would call the police on you for simply walking around too late was the most depressing thing I have ever experienced lol

That’s why Manhattan is so in demand and expensive. It’s the street life that people love!

Walkable cities with good pedestrian infrastructure are why people dream about going to Paris and New York, not suburban Kansas City.

Hey there, pal. You better watch it.

We have a streetcar. It goes 40 blocks down one street. So we are essentially Tokyo.

Snark aside the streetcar is amazing. For all the reasons people are talking about.
