Care for a walk?
Due to the price of the gasoline, which experts forecasted to hike up more this coming months, a lot of people have been doing some cut-offs in their budget just to make ends meet. Some of them even let go of their cars and start commuting, so that they can cut the budget into half. However, some do it the hard way. Those who live in far-flung suburbs relocate to houses which are nearer institutions and establishments such as schools, markets etc. There is actually a website that helps people locate the nearest (walking distance) establishments to the person’s home. The website features a “walkability score” between 0 and 100 for the establishments that the user keyed in (from the point of origin).
