Who doesn’t want it all right out their doorstep so long as they also have a bit of the American Dream along with at least a bit of grass? While the above statistic may be accurate, I’m not sure we see it here in Columbus. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.columbushomesblog.com/2008/10/06/start-walking-stop-sprawling-5-ways-cities-can-become-more-walkable/"><P>Olde Worthington and historic downtown Upper Arlington seem like they would capture a premium price for their own brand of urban walkability but, although it’s true to a point, there are other neighborhoods within those municipalities that do equally well if not better but that’s more about space. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.columbushomesblog.com/2008/10/06/start-walking-stop-sprawling-5-ways-cities-can-become-more-walkable/">It’s True that the Short North and German Village command a premium price because it’s all right there for you. Why haven’t Olde Towne East and Franklinton also become considerably more popular in light of movement back to the city centers? (True, Franklinton’s housing stock isn’t steller but it certainly is affordable) Is it because the amenities aren’t there yet?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E906A7DD-0EEF-458B-A660-C694951FB0D0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
