            Apparently 77 now and 55 at the place I just moved out of. Neither is accurate though, since I know they're missing closer places for certain things for both addresses.

            Edit: Which I dont' really get. I'm assuming this info is based off of Google Maps, but it says the closest park to my old address is .52km away, when really there was one literally right behind my building - and it's marked as such on Google Maps.

                ...and it's not even that good. The mileage estimates are way off, and I suspect the site is using "as the crow flies" measurements. However, my house is up a winding hilly road, which drifts away from the business district and thus adds about a mile to the measurements given on the site.

                  Why is it saying my nearest park is on the other side of the city when there are two within five minutes walk from my house?
                  Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                    32, which is ridiculous and wrong.

                    For my dorm, 68, which seems low. Then again, it doesn't take into account the bus.

                      It's a survey about walkability.

                        I don't really see why it's meaningful to measure "walkability" versus "living-without-a-car-ability". When I can wait 5 minutes to catch a 5-minutes bus ride up to a bunch of shops, that's meaningful.

                          Awesome. 2 out of 100.

                          That's about right, despite it being a bit off with a couple of things (how it categorizes them).

                            Good thing I don't walk.

                            The last address I did walk from rates a 62.
