It's Throwback Thursday's thread of sarcasm and witty repartee

Isn't the entire point of living "in the city" a walkability thing? I mean, that would point to a downtown location, no? Or you going to live "outside" the city (but somehow not the suburbs) and do the car thing?

We kind of have to have cars for our jobs. Also.... This looks sooooooo unwalkable.

If you are serious, I just posted a pic of one city neighborhood. That one, admittedly, is too expensive, but there are other neighborhoods like it in the city that are safe, walkable, have restaurants, breweries, parks, and bike paths that can take you pretty much anywhere in the city.

Yes serious. I don't know the layout of Columbus to know what "the city" is. I can only go off of "cities" I've been to, where it's basically trash ass areas that have houses, downtown condos that are nice or...suburbs. To find SFHs in "cities" that aren't complete shitholes, but still walkable is rare.

there is no need to explain to him how neighborhoods work or how there are certain areas inside cities that one can move to and get what you want.

I like to educate
 
going to be a rainy day here. The grass in my front yard is looking gooooooood right now...but might put down some starter fertilizer to maybe give it a little more help going into the colder weather

How far is German place to the Blue Jackets arena, for example?

First image, the city of Columbus. Obviously, the places around the outerbelt are your basic suburbs. Upper Arlington is one of the first suburbs of Columbus, and is still considered very nice (good schools, safe, etc).

Second image, I marked up. The black is the burb. I circled in red areas that were nice neighborhoods. Some people would consider Grandview Heights a suburb. It's kind of a gray area in that regard, IMO. It's very popular with the 20's and 30's crowd, as well as young families, because the schools are very good. It would honestly probably be the sweet spot, because it has everything we both like. It can just be pricey. Blue is "up and coming". Circled is what's pretty much already there, and the shaded areas are heading there. Green is OSU.

German Village is about 2 miles from Nationwide Arena, but there is a free bus that goes from German Village, past the arena, to the Short North.
 
took the dog for a walk after work yesterday and there's a 2 minute stretch where we walk along a busier road. Luckily there is a pretty decent shoulder, so it's all good, for the most part.

but yesterday as I was walking by this one house, I hear a dog barking and it runs at me...little puppy who starts attacking my dog. I am trying to pull my dog back so he doesn't kill the puppy, but it is backing us right into the busy road. Pissed me off. I expect to see that dog dead on the side of the road very soon if these people don't realize they live in a place where they can't have a leashless dog in the front yard.

Makes sense I guess. It sounds a bit like Dinkytown in Minneapolis I'd think. Without going to Columbus to compare it from a shithole perspective, I couldn't see myself living in a place like Dinkytown because even though it's "hip" and cool and shit, it's also a place where garbage tends to happen. Fuck owning real estate in a place that could get fucked up by jackoffs.

Not bad. If the 2 mile stretch between the Arena and German place isn't sketch.

Never been there, but quick mapping and from what I've heard, Dinkytown would probably be comparable to our Short North neighborhood

German Village is directly south of downtown. So, you're just walking through the neighborhood and downtown.

When I lived in German Village (it was the south end of it), I would typically take the bus to the games, then get an Uber back home.
