Yyyyyyup. Bike-friendliness increases value too, e.g., homes near a separated bike track sell for more, retail businesses along protected bike lanes on average see a healthy increase in sales.

The article speculates that the rise of Uber et al, and self-driving cars, will soon cancel out the perceived benefits of walk-friendliness.

I don't buy it. Being able to walk or bike most everywhere you want to go (even if you use mass transit or Uber for the hardest trips) is more than the solution to a math problem about transportation. It's a whole 'nother way of living, one with all kinds of side benefits. Once you've done it for a while, you don't usually want to stop. I know I don't.

Love the "travel time map" on Walkscore. Hadn't seen that before.

This article is mainly about the values added in California but you'll get the drift as it relates to some areas of JC. The second link is where you can simply type in your own address at the top and get your score:
