World Changing has an article on how New YOrk City's pedestrian lifestyle is leading to longer lives. In addition to the physical benefits of walking, you get to enjoy the stylish dressers of the city. I do find myself slacking in dress here living in California and some sadly myself included would say descending into slovenly. Guess the money you don't spend on cars you can spend on clothes.

Great article Charles, thanks for posting it.
As a long time car owner and user (business purposes mostly, now), I drive about 7500+ miles LESS per year since I moved from the suburbs to Brooklyn (NY) in 1999.
I don't think that I now WALK those 7500 miles, but I think nothing of walking a mile or two to go to the movies or visit friends on the other side of the neighborhood.
I really love living and walking in the "world's largest gym," but the hard part is to resist stopping at the 14,000+ eateries along the way!
