14.

It calculates stuff by "crows flight", not by actual walking distance.   :flush:

definitely not perfect (I got credit for Campus Theater in the Ville!) but a good barometer.

 :blindfold:

Damnit, I live in Omaha and this guy pulls more walkability in Scott Fracking City!?  SUBURBS FTLL.  I'm moving downtown with the homeless people.  I bet they have, like, 199 walkability at all times.  :curse:

8 for the DC burbs. Walking is for poor people anyway.

On the other hand, my stabability is pretty high. So I figure I'll do alright in the overall.

63, but no credit for the Nelson Atkins or Kemper museums which are both like a half mile walk.

If I lived three blocks west, it would jump up to 78.

Four blocks west, it's  83.

14 -- grossly overestimated.  Straight-line distances for me would require a machete.  Also ignores elevational changes.

It underestimates your personal walkability quotient.

Unfortunately, for Manhattan it's pretty much a "how far are you away from wal-mart" meter.

71.  Having a hardware store a fifth of a mile away is one of those things that you never realize you needed until you got it.

63?   :jerkoff:

Things may be close to me, but walking down a 6+ lane arterial is not fun.

And they need to fine tune their algorithms.  Closest grocery store = Circle K.  Closest movie theater = Blueprint Home Theater Store. Closest school = Aerial Dance Over Denver School.
