Good point Jonathan! I visit my local coffee shop every day. This research has implications for our current housing challenge.

 "If you simply put a bunch of apartment towers together without providing things that density makes possible, such as local amenities, shops, transit, then you're actually not delivering the value of density for wellbeing,"

The research aligns with my own experiences. Living in walkable neighborhoods and having access to communal spaces like coffee shops and parks not only improves physical health but also enhances social well-being. It's fascinating to see studies confirming the positive impact of these lifestyle factors on overall well-being and connectedness.
