Can't Afford Gas? Move to Charlotte: One of America's Top Walkable Cities
Gas is totally out of control. We all have a heart breaking experience every time we stand next to our vehicles with an uncontrollable feeling of dread and incompetency while hopelessly watching the price climbing up and up. Well, there is one option......Take advantage of Charlotte's 286 square miles of walkable land! Charlotte has been included in 2011's Top 10 Most Walkable Cities by Walk Friendly Communities, an organization devoted to promoting safe walking environments. So what makes Charlotte so "walkable?" Factors like walking being integrated into the city's overall urban planning process, parking rules and regulations provide adequate space for pedestrians and I'm sure the different methods of public transportation, such as the LYNX Light Rail, make it easy for people to walk amongst their favorite spots further from their residents. Just one more reason Charlotte is such a growing and desirable city!
