Austin and SA should have about the same number of dtown residents, but SA has far greater tourists downtown, so yes SA's downtown is busier than Austin most days. But it is not THAT busy. and it is only in the Touristy areas- The Market, Alamo, Riverwalk.
NOLA has significantly more tourists right? Including the cruise port and Saints home games, both of which Memphis doesn't have. Memphis has the Grizzlies home games and New Orleans has the Hornets home games.
None of the above in the original, as most say. If you took metro-miami, miami might be competitive. But all the walking is on South Beach.
Richmond, Charleston, and Savannah clean the clock of all listed. But New Orleans is the winner by a landslide. San Antonio isn't even the busiest downtown in the hill country - a few tourists walking a few blocks along a canal doesn't count. The rest of the city is completely dead. Gruehne has a busier downtown.
When you think of it, it makes sense that the old cities with houses that touch each other have more walking than cities that were built for the automobile. No real shock
