BWAHAHAHAHA - the Walk Score Scam
http://annandaleva.blogspot.com/2011/08/annandale-rated-average-on-walkability.html#more
This will only be of interest to DC folks, but what a fucking joke this all is. Tysons Corner is walkable?!?!? SINCE WHEN?????????? Maybe, 1979... It's amusing to see the explanation for this scam - that it merely measures distance to a grocery store or two, and nothing else. The fact that there are NO sidewalks, and eight lanes of gut wrenching 24-hour-a-day-traffic* to cross to get anywhere in town are not factored in. Nor the Mordor-like construction that has created a landscape that looks more like the Verdun battlefield, (and with about the same rate of survivability). And then the old bromide about walking reducing weight. So does terror, and you're going to be experiencing it in great gobs if you try to walk anywhere but inside the god-damned malls. And then they have the absolute audacity to claim that this hyper-limited criteria can be used to assess real estate value. Great! In fact, I suggest folks invest in Dachau Real Estate. The 'walkability' should be just about a perfect 100 - EVERYTHING you're allowed access to is within a few yards of where you sleep, and I guarantee that you'll lose weight while there. Check with our sales manager, Adolf, tell him that Walk Score sent ya....
(*Claiming that traffic density is factored in is yet one more joke. The place is a river of cars. It's not dense, it's fucking solid. Electrons fear Tysons...
