Summary:
"The American Dream is a sprawling, single-family home in a “good neighborhood”, but those who aspire to suburbia’s white picket fences and grassy yards must typically endure exorbitant transportation costs and excruciating, gridlocked commutes. Why I Walk is the fascinating story of one man’s decision to reject this notion and everything it entails, one step at a time. In this intimate manifesto, author Kevin Klinkenberg goes beyond the typical arguments against suburbia, showing how walking on a daily basis actively benefits: His finances -- His sense of personal freedom -- His social life -- His health. By focusing directly on the real, measurable advantages of choosing to be a pedestrian, Why I Walk makes a convincing case for ending North America’s love affair with the automobile. This highly readable, first-person narrative handily provides the answer to the pressing question, “Why do I walk”? Why? Because getting there is twice the fun."--Back cover.
