Good area to work/live in?

They should take climate into consideration. My apartment in Madison, Wisconsin scores 92/100. I'd generally agree with this, but when it's 15 degrees Fahrenheit on your walk to work... Brr.
So true about Madison. Great city when the temperatures are above, I don't know 25 degrees.
I miss the angelic brewing co. and the farmers market. Oh, the crazy stuff you could find during moveout and the broom street theater is ridiculous.

My current job (until 12/21): 3 out of 100
And, my new job (on 1/7): 91 out of 100
That about sums up my oppinion of both places too...

The walk score for my home was only 30, and I walk everywhere. I don't even own a car. So, the score is not meaningful.
Cool idea, but I agree that the implementation needs work. The score for my office is 68, but it is really not walkable at all. Whereas the score for my home is only a 62, but I never need to use a car at home.
Cool 1550 Crystal Drive Arlington VA 22202 = 85 ;) Not bad for the east cost IMO.
Granted, I walk to work and my home address is only 77 so it's a little off. Hmm, it looks like it's missing a lot of stores and a mall so it's not that bad.

Hmm... The area I live in Columbus, OH has a 80/100! Though some of the information is outdated, I saw two stores - one pharmacy and one hardware store that closed down some time ago that might have thrown the score off...
If you're looking for 100/100, plug in ZIP code 10001 (no address -- puts you around the corner from Madison Square Garden).
83210, in rural Idaho, gets a donut.

I would like to see this expanded with a Streetwalkers category, worth up to 6.9 points. They are a natural fit for hackers, with similar hours.
A nice way to quickly see what is around a new job or place to live. My office rating: 82/100
