Yuba Scores Low on Walking

Breaking News:

Only days after receiving a perfect score on the Astronomers' Association's "Light Pollution of North American Cities," rankings, Yuba has been knocked off its high horse. An incredibly useful and vitally important new Internet tool called "Walk Score" has given Yuba a failing grade. The site measures the "walkability" of any given address, and then provides a grade on a scale of 100. For example, the Yuba Post Brooklyn Office in New York City received an 85 out of 100:
Yuba, on the other hand, received a 6:

A 6 out of 100 is nothing to be proud of. We're not sure what percentage that is exactly, but it's got to be around 15% or so, maybe lower. Clearly, this is a failing grade. Something needs to be done, and fast. Yuba must improve its walkablility, before we lose the right to walk entirely!

Even more embarrassing, Rapid City got a score of 29. You did tie Williamsburg. I'm not sure you can be proud of that, though.
