someone should redo this stupid chart with a QoL calculation balancing in walkscore/transitscore/bikescore, skipping the assumption that you can drive. driving sucks in chicago as far as i can see, and not having to pay for any car stuff is part of what makes living in chicago easily possible for me
I was just looking at that. It's not a good chart, because the Numbeo formula they're using includes cost of living in the QoL, so they're in part measuring CoL against itself. Also QoL is pretty simplicistic, with only like 8 variables total, two of which are "is it warm" and "is car traffic bad"

The bikescore and walk score don’t tell the whole story: Curb cuts were unusually precipitous. Some sidewalk stretches were nearly too overgrown to fit the Bunch. Car traffic was very light, and seemed to actually stay below the 25mph posted limit.

So grateful for Bikescore and Walkscore filters. Makes looking for a new house a bit less shit.
And it's interesting to see how differently high-bikescore homes and high-walkscore homes are distributed.

I propose in 2025 the City start providing tax rebates to properties based off bikescore/walkscore, to acknowledge that these methods of getting around cost the city less.
That would incentivize ratepayers to support bike lanes.

In the 2025 budget cycle, we could introduce property tax rebates tied to bikescore and walkscore for properties: walking and biking cost less for the city, makes sense to not tax properties that encourage them as heavily.
/Coincidence/ it means that removing bike lanes would increase taxes.

Suggestion for City of Toronto Bike Community.
Get the city to tie an annual property tax rebate to a property's Walkscore/Bikescore. Over 90? Have 5% back. Only over 50? Oh... you only get 1% back.
Then when "remove bikelanes" happen... it's going to hike taxes.

IIRC walkscore and bikescore used to have a safety element and real estate hated that so it is gone now. You can run over lots of peds in your city, and it won't show up in your walkscore at all.

I also like that Redfin lets you filter by WalkScore and TransitScore and BikeScore.
