Many fond memories of the simple life there 1987-91. Not very convenient grocery-wise, but that's what dining halls are for. I think big reason most places don't or can't resemble the walkable compactness of the college campus is due to zoning laws which, although perhaps well-intentioned in the early 20th century, totally f'd up chances for integrated communities as suburbs sprawled and segregated functions such as retail and residence without providing public transport connectors. "New urbanism" and "mixed use zoning" seek to fix the sorry situation, but for most places it might be too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
