Most Americans Want a Walkable Neighborhood, Not a Big House »

The symbol of American success often involves having the biggest house possible, but our outsized fantasies seem to be shifting. According to a new survey, more than three quarters of us consider having sidewalks and places to take a walk one of our top priorities when deciding where to live. Six in 10 people also said they would sacrifice a bigger house to live in a neighborhood that featured a mix of houses, stores, and businesses within an easy walk.

I’m going to take this opportunity to say again how much I love my little house, near that little creek, and lots of little stores and delicious restaurants right around the corner.

    I would be more than happy to lop off about 1,000 sq ft from our house if we could move it to the North End of Boise.
