Can somebody explain this???

It's found in the article:

Unlike people in old-fashioned urban centers who can walk to work, shops, and public transport, those in the spread-out communities cannot walk even if they wanted to because sidewalks and crossings are lacking and homes, schools and workplaces are far apart.

It was a rhetorical question; I already knew that!!!

I asked that just to spur debate!!!

Lighten up!!!

"We found that U.S. adults living in sprawling counties weigh more, are more likely to be obese and are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than are their counterparts in compact counties,"

It's found in the article.

Like, you really gave this study some thought?

We are not "compact" enough.

There you have it, Salsa.

If my work location was not 22 miles from my house, I might walk - or ride a bike.

The fact that my almighty SUV has this neat little invention called, "Air Conditioning", also has a part to play here. This is the desert. From about May to late Sept we get real coxy with the triple digits on the thermometer.

I know, I know - it's a "dry" heat. You walk a mile here when it's 115 degrees. Mean time, I'll hop in my A/C equipped SUV and drive two blocks to the local 7-11 for some beer.

I do get exercise, though. The concrete is so hot that I have to run - from my patio to my pool.

Another, in a long line, of profound "studies" - that are not worth the cost of what they are printed on.

The best part is that we get to pay for these Einstein like revelations.

As I've said before, whats next? A study that lets us know they found a dircect correlation between the presence of the Sun and day light?

/rant off.
