Yup. If I really book it, I can make it in 25 minutes. Google says 36 minutes on foot. Walking speed apparently means 14km/h.

There's other good ones in there too...

"California Inspired" - It's a Vancouver Special.

"Executive Home" - I definitely know nobody I would describe as an executive living around here. Tons of very highly educated people, but almost nobody looking to be a flashy exec. Beater VWs are everywhere, and BMWs are nowhere to be found.

"Bathed in Tranquility" - The little park where the cul-de-sac ends, right be side it, almost always had people either getting drunk or high in it.

Man, if engineers could get away with publishing this kind of stuff.
