I laughed when i read, 'keeping a shoe rack by the door'. My parents had 8 kids, and one can only imagine the evils that were tracked in. Not to mention the various housepets.

I also agree that there should be edibles growing in the house.. it is a relaxing hobby, and the mere presence of plants is beneficial.

You are correct on common sense, but still useful. I wonder about taking it a step further with backyard landscapes and other things to help create a sense of calm throughout the house. 

I work as a professional urban planner, and one of the things that we are always pushing for is walkable communities, which has a direct causation on health of a community.

Totally agree -- walkable communities are fantastic!  It always saddens me when I see new developments / suburbs that are not walkable at all -- completely crowded with barely any green space due to extremely poor planning and lack of any foresight by policy makers who kowtow to greedy developers.  

I'm sure you, MJClark, are aware of all of these benefits , but for those interested / new to the concept of walkable cities / communities, here are some articles that discuss walkable cities:
