Calorie per Calorie, milk is more nutrient dense than soda...more calcium, protien, vitamin D, etc. I'm still not advocating that people drink more milk, but it is definitely an improvement over soda.

It is stated in the article in the 5th paragraph:
By using regression, they controlled for the "proximity to the urban center" and the regression output still showed a positive correlation bt walkability and housing prices.

Maybe California is ahead of the game, but this IS making headway. Check out SB 375 - it REQUIRES metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) to do a lot of this by 2020, and even more by 2035. http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0351-0400/sb_375_cfa_20080818_153416_asm_comm.html The MPO that I work closely with in Southern California is already discussing ways to do this! yay!

I disagree with the statement "the only viable way to cut CO2 emissions is to require cars to get better gas mileage"...I work for the Transportation and Land Management Agency of Riverside County, and it's a pretty well known fact that as one's MPG goes up, so do miles traveled!!! We are currently working on a project right now to decrease vehicle miles traveled - another perfectly viable way to cut C02 emissions. The project is called SB 375 which requires all MPOs in California to decrease vehicle miles traveled by 2020 and further by 2035. Basically, California keeps on developing open land into urban sprawl, and urban sprawl is not sustainable. SB 375 seeks to significanlty slow this down and therefore decrease vehicle miles traveled...which will cut C02 emissions!
