Would I be out of line if I said New York?
It's probably not true if you're outside of Manhattan though (Walking to work).

Philly - especially if you have a dog. I drive my car like once a week, we walk everywhere.

While so cal in general requires a car, Laguna Beach has amazing weather, has zero crime, and is completely walkable. Famous for its artistic roots (google 'pageant of the masters'), it's got free public transportation, if you don't want to walk, and it's close to all of the business in south OC.

yah definetely philly. Especially center/city and outlining areas. Very strong art/design community to. Penns Landing and South st also nice. Maybe not south st since its been becoming crappier every year.

I can't believe this thread has made it this long without someone yelling out CHICAGO!
You can live in there without a car no problem and there is such a huge art scene. It's the best. I imagine NY is like that but I've only been there for one day.

Boston!
Of course.It's like the cheaper, smaller, more manageable, accessible New York. Also staunchly democratic, quite liberal, what with the gay marriage and stem cell stuff and all, and tons of arts going down. And we got beaches and mountains in close proximity. And all the pretty fall color business etc etc
...and New York's only 4 hours away, 1 by plane.

Boston eh? *hands you cookie*
Admittedly, i've never been to the northeast before (only as far as Virginia)..but i've always wanted to . Is it pretty expensive as far as renting a room somewhere within the walking distance areas? Also what is their public transit like (busses or train)?
Thanks for responding..you guys may end up helping me decide something! ;)

Baltimore is pretty walkable i skate all over downtown and its not bad at all, i wouldnt recomend living here though. it sucks theirs like 2 perfect days a year, winters are cold without much snow and the skiing sucks. its 3 hours from an ocean so no surfing alot.

depends on where you want to live in boston. the surrounding neighborhoods have pretty decent prices for living. inside the city in places such as back bay, the fenway, etc prices can get a little higher. it all depends on what you are looking for.
in terms of public transportation, the city is home to the first subway, so i guess boston has always been pretty accessible. the busses cover a lot of ground outside the city and you can pretty much get anywhere you want via the trains. also, boston has some of the lowest public transportation fares of all the cities in america. that said, the transportation shuts down at 1 so if you want to stay at a bar until 2 and get home, you're shit out luck.
but, to answer your question directly, boston is a very walkable city.
