I'd say its fairly walkable by American city standards. Sure, it's no Paris, London, or Tokyo, but when you compare to the monstrosity such as Houston, Dallas, LA, and Atlanta, its definitely walkable.

If you live in financial district, beacon hill, or back bay, the city is very walkable.

My sister moved to Houston for work and after visiting her twice it has made me appreciate Boston significantly more.

I didn't see a single bicycle and every street feels like a highway truck stop.

Can fly to Atlanta and take the MARTA right to the city core and it has protected bike lanes. Downtown Atlanta is very walkable.

Maybe in winter months. I wouldn't consider any part of Hotlanta as walkable from late Spring to early Fall.

Because it's too hot for you ? By that logic Boston is completely unwalkable most of Fall and all of winter due to the cold?

I can layer for the cold. I can only take off so much clothes before the police takes me away.
