Studies have shown that walking to work instead of commuting an hour a day does as much good for how you feel as falling in love. In the 20th century when most people worked in factories or for other large employers, this was impossible for most. But the bulk of work is done by much smaller businesses today, and it has never been easier to start your own business. Unfortunately, most neighborhoods have few if any places to work because of conventional single-use city zoning. Work with your city to get a form-based code like the SmartCode that encourages small neighborhood businesses.
