Scoring Your Neighbourhood

A friend recently sent me this interesting site: http://www.walkscore.com/.
It allows you to calculate how good your neighbourhood is in terms of
walkability. My neighbourhood (High Park) faired okay and the
neighbourhood I lived in when I went to high school (Kanata Lakes)
rated at under 10% – which seems about right since it was pretty much
as suburban as you can get. As oil prices go up, I imagine Walk scores
will become more and more meaningful in terms of real estate value.
What does that mean for the ‘burbs?
