What are top five best walkable cities in the US that are also affordable?
bear in mind that american "cities" are basically small countries, i'm sure there's at least a hundred "towns" or districts of "cities" that are walkable and affordable, but the "cities" are so stupid huge that they have a bunch of variation in them.
They're not affordable, sadly. Walkable cities are so amazingly great that people will pay a lot of money to live in them. And they have to, because the demand is huge, but they're illegal to build, so the supply is tiny.
In short, Americans are dumb.
I'm not sure I could name 5, period
What I was afraid of. Walkable cities is a great a noble thing. It just sucks we aren't making those in America.
It's all relative. Some cities are more walkable than others. Declaring the entire US to be so unwalkable you should give up comparing them is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Pennsylvania's got you covered with Pittsburgh and Philly.
Pittsburgh has great walking but its transit is quite limited. Philly has good transit (for USA).
Both very affordable compared to other cities.
Chicago is pretty similar to Philly in terms of affordability, walkability and transit.
Chicago is really affordable for its size IMO. At least comparatively I guess.
