ParticipantSouthern California is all about cars, people are in love with them, so the walk-ability factor doesn’t apply here

Participant“San Diego is not a walkable city. Period. If you live in the Village of La Jolla and never get out of there, you can walk. Or if you in the Marina District Downtown, you can walk. But you still need a car and a parking space.”
There is a difference between being able to walk to most places and needing a car infrequently on one hand and needing a car for everything on the other hand. If the former is o.k. for you there are some places in SD that work out pretty well.
For myself, having lived in a suburb (Encinitas), followed by a walkable college town in North Carolina, I’m finding my current area (Mission Hills) to be a nice compromise.

ParticipantCould it be that walkable areas are desirable and rare — and therefore have higher prices? Higher-priced homes have a lower rates of default, no? The question then becomes: are these walkable areas higher priced because they are walkable, or for some other reason?
And is downtown SD really walkable? Sure, the nightlife is walkable, but what about actually living there? How many parks are there in downtown? How many grocery stores? How many community gathering spaces?
