New Orleans is a walking town
Really? With the hood mixed in just blocks from many nice areas.. With sidewalks that have to be among the worst in the country. With the number of fatass people in the city.. I just want to know in what way is New Orleans a walking town?

While I don't know that I'd categorize it as a true "walking town" ala somewhere like New York City, it's certainly a more pedestrian friendly place (its cracked sidewalks and interspersed demographics notwithstanding) than say, Houston, Atlanta, and - God knows - Baton Rouge.

Definitely a walking town. It's relatively dense, compact, and I imagine zoned pretty strictly, because commercial shops tend to be tightly clustered together. Now this doesn't hold true in, say, Lakeview, or out of the city limits. The bad condition of the sidewalks doesn't really enter into it, if only because the streets are even worse condition and it's easier to avoid a pothole on foot than driving
And Baton Rouge is clearly the least walking-friendly city I've ever been to in my life. Of course, its also in the bottom 5 in terms of drivability. And good luck trying to get anywhere on a bike. I always say BR is a great place to live if you never plan on leaving your house.

most main streets uptown, downtown and FQ are pretty safe to walk on. I have walked on all, at all hours of the day/night.
