Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

Becoming a parent is optional but being kind to children is never optional. You don't have to have kids but everyone has a duty to society to treat children with the same basic level of respect you'd treat any other innocent person with no matter what your own personal feelings about parenthood are.

imo the term "walkable" in "walkable cities" should be understood to mean "wheelchair accessible" as well, not just literally "possible to walk in". the act of walking in a city doesn't automatically make it walkable
