Really? I've never been to a district in LA that has no sidewalks. Honestly, I know there is no sidewalks in parts of Ventura & OC counties (Thousand Oaks & Villa Park come to mind), but in LA? <br/><br/>LA is walkable...when you drive between districts. Unless you live near the Red/Purple lines to get you between Hollywood & downtown, most other places are reached by car only. Once we get these connected via transit, we will definitly jump up a few notches. There are no sidewalks? Really? I've never been to a district in LA that has no sidewalks.

LA /is/ one of the most walkable cities....

....once you drive somewhere!

I frequently find myself walking from my car to the front door of a restaurant, or from the parking structure to my office, and I must admit, it almost never rains here, and is quite warm usually, so those walks are fairly pleasant.

I actually live in an area where there are two malls within 1/4 mile of my house, 2 supermarkets (at least) within the same distance, Many restaurants within half a mile, but.....

There are no sidewalks to get to most of them!

I love LA.

Justin
