Carless on Cape Cod

Okay, here is the challenge.  Think about what is available to you within a 20 minute walk. Can you meet your most baxic needs?  Most will immediately realize they could not get to work.  But, what else would you be deprived of?

Traditionally villages grew around their church, market and common services. So, until you stop and think about where you live, or find yourself temporarily carless, do the problems of modern day (Euclidean) separation of land uses become so apparent.

So, I challenge you park your car for a few days, put your T pass away, and see if you can find your basec needs within walking distance.

I will share our experiences.  Give it a try.
