"Tina" left the same comment on our post this morning, as Nina I think. blog.smartgrowthamerica.org

I told her why not just calculate her walk score and if it sucks then that's probably a pretty good "drive score." Or it's like scores in golf. The lower the better. Driving more YAY!

(that said, I would definitely love to see walk score integrated with the data from the Center for Neighborhood Technology's Housing + Transportation affordability index released a few months ago. As someone rightly points out, choosing a neighborhood where you can drive less or make shorter trips can be a wise choice and an improvement for lots of people. The Joe Cortright study on the Green Dividend in Portland finds that drivers drive less there, saving everyone money. It's just just about walkers, but about fewer and shorter trips.)
