Almost every neighborhood is walkable in the sense that there are sidewalks and everyday shopping within a mile.
Haha, no. Complete and contiguous sidewalks and cross walks are very spotty in most sections of DFW. There are even plenty of neighborhoods that don't have sidewalks at all and many sections lacking crosswalks or where cross walk infrastructure doesn't work.

We're good in that respect in this area of Richardson. Pedestrians and cyclists even cross under 75 at Belt Line all the time.

I sometimes run errands on foot; my bank is a mile away, there's a grocery store a shade closer, there are two convenience stores within walking distance as well as several sit-down restaurants, a bookstore, and a movie theater. All accessible by contiguous sidewalks using crosswalks at major intersections.
