The hardest thing to do is explain that experience to people. Also having grown up in the burbs, it wasn't until adulthood in SF and Europe that I realized how materially different 'walking' can be.
It's shocking, because it's something so fundamental, right in front of our eyes, that's just hard to fathom.
So 1) we have to think about how we communicate this and 2) we may want to thin of ways to even adapt the Burbs to something more ammenable.
On the later, it seems crazy, but people do like convenience, and expansion of commuter lines may bode very well. People will use transit if it's faster and more convenient.
If Dallas were connected to Planto etc. through something fairly quick, clean and safe it would transform the city. Not holding my breath.
