And also I came across this today and tested it out. Yes gas prices are skyrocketing and i'm happy that someone is trying to make a point. BUT how accurate is this walkometer? It rated both my hometown Mount Prospect, IL and Fort Collins, CO the same : somewhat walkable. Let's just say my little NW Chicago suburb was constructed for automobiles, there aren't even sidewalks on any main roads, thus making it COMPLETELY unwalkable. Whereas the Fort we all know if walkable/bikable (that is if your purple bike doesn't get stolen from the side of your house). So great idea google or whoever is really flying on the wing of this masterpiece, but let's be realistic here at the same time. I don't doubt that San Fran is the most walkable though...too bad I can't afford to live there
