Which is completely absurd because not only were many of these laws recently enacted, but their the efficacy of some rules is also questionable (most notably the calorie count law). I wouldn't be surprised if most of the difference cited by this study was due to walking. I know that I've had to exert extra effort living in SF to be more active than I had to when I lived in NYC. I wonder if there will be a follow-up study looking into the actual reasons why life expectancy is higher in NYC. |

Wow I find this kinda surprising. I walk more or less as much in sf as in NY, if only because roughly 100% of the time, the weather is comfortable enough to enjoy walking in (as opposed to Manhattan in the summer.... Or the winter).
Then again, I think my house is unusually well connected to transit, so maybe where you live transit+walking isn't as feasible an option.
