Iterating a bit more

🟢 Easily walkable (≤15 min): 38 amenities (15%)
🟡 Just outside reach (15-30 min): 113 amenities (44%)
🔴 Too far to walk (>30 min): 64 amenities (25%)

113 amenities (from OSM) are tantalizingly close but just outside the 15-minute neighborhood

Just mapped my neighborhood with ACTUAL sidewalk data.

Even in one of SLC's "most walkable" areas, 87% of nearby amenities are outside a true 15-minute walk. That cluster of dots at 9th & 9th? Just out of reach.

We're not building 15-minute neighborhoods, we're building 15-minute lies.

Yesterday was my last day at Ready. Learned a ton & made new friends in the process. I'm grateful for that!

No career update right now - going to enjoy spending time with loved ones and reconnecting with mapping friends. And that '78 Rhodes is not going to fix itself :)

Happy Holidays y'all!
