Is 0.4 miles (10-15 min) walk to a train station too far?

… and from the subway to work, and to lunch and stores from work, and the trip all over again to get back home again, going up and down the many subway stairs, and up and down the stairs if you live in a brownstone or walk-up, and to lunch and stores from work, and to all the stores and other places one goes in the neighborhood one lives in, and the other places one walks to rather than driving as people in other places do, and to the park just to walk there …. a much healthier lifestyle than anywhere but in a few other walkable cities in the country – and maybe some really tiny walkable villages out there.

people seem to agree that the walk is a health benefit. Prior to living in NYC, i lived on LI and in a small southern city. in both areas people relied on cars, too much i think. kind of had no choice in the matter. it showed though; a lot of heavy and obese people. when i got to the city i was surprised at how fit NYers are; it has to be that walk to the subway.
