If you live in LA you'll need to go over at least one highway.

Edit: ITT many Americans telling me of how walkable and great their towns are. I'm happy for you but comrades, I've been to the US once and that was on a trip I won in high school so don't expect me to know the zoning plan of Providence, Wisconsin Pop. 235'489. I don't really care how lovely your city with two buslines is. For every Seattle or Chicago there are 34 Cincinnatis, Houstons and Las Vagases and approx. 234 exurbs and suburbs.

    Has anyone ever been to Vail? It's an incredibly walkable city with a free bus system, but it's all retail and hotels. It's like what Denver should be, but it's reserved for where rich people have fun.

      Ski Resort towns kinda have to be walkable because you need to carry your skis/snowboard around and you can't have a parking lot for thousands of cars on the side of a mountain.

        Vail does suck, it's just that the architecture and general feel of the city center are great. It's bullshit that it's only afforded to rich people, and some of the houses built around the city are absolutely revolting when you see the conditions unhoused people have to deal with in Denver. The hiking or skiing isn't even particularly good because it's so packed with disrespectful rich assholes.

          Okay you're good. The first reported Rona case in Colorado came from an asshole who stayed at Vail to add yet another reason

            Vail is barely even a real city. I don't think there's even a typical grocery store (or dispensary for that matter) within the city limits. It's mostly just an amalgamation of hotels and storefronts with the facade of a European city for rich people to have "mountain getaways" while they're within spitting distance of the interstate.

      My buddy was a bus driver there one winter. The city is so expensive that business have to subsidize housing for service workers

      Vail isn't a city based entirely on the fact that I've never heard of it
