I'm not sold on the overall walkability of New Orleans. It's small, and only has 344k residents, yet its walkscore is awful (53).
Los Angeles has a 66 walkscore, and is home to 3.8 million people. 1.9 million residents live in walkscores above 70, 500,000+ above 80. It should be owning this thread.
I hope the guy who considers Las Vegas walkable was just yanking our chains. Let us in on the joke already, dude. Also, for the 24 souls who voted for Atlanta: seek help.
And apples to apples: Long Beach has a walk score of 66, w/ 465k residents.

I don't find the Strip in Vegas to be pedestrian-friendly at all. It is long and linear, with pedestrian bridges because the traffic is too heavy to cross the street and many of the hotels are hundreds of feet off the street.
While we're on subject, take Miami and drag it all the way down to Atlanta, Houston, & Dallas levels. There's no reason for a place like that being as high as it is.
How many more LARGE sunbelt cities are more walk-able than Miami? NO, LA, SF, then??????? By putting Miami as maybe 4th, then it is on the same level as Dallas, Atlanta and Houston, because right after Miami the next group of cities are Dallas Atlanta and Houston. So either way, if Miami makes the top 4 or 5, it'll still be in the same lower level with Houston, Dallas and Atlanta.
I live in DT Austin and I don't own a car. Everything is walking distance.
I've lived in Austin, I love the city and all. I was just living there a few weeks ago before moving here. Downtown is walkable, so is West Campus, & everywhere up to 36th street from 2nd Street all the way to there.
Outside of that. No not really.

If some of these cities made your list, sure Charleston and Savannah ought to. Throw in Asheville, Greenville, and Chattanooga for good measure too.
