"Extremely" urban? That would be the case for NOLA, Charleston, and Savannah. I don't really see how Columbus is any more urban and walkable than other similarly-sized cities; in GA, it's on par with Augusta and Macon. Athens is the other GA city besides Savannah that should really be highlighted here.

Laughable. Since when Athens became more urban than Columbus?
Mutiny, Newsboy is correct in this one. The squares make the city more pedestrian friendly and the size of the sidewalk (mainly the distance you are away from moving traffic) make a huge difference in how pedestrian friendly a city can be.
Also, Columbus is extremely urban and definitely walkable. I wouldn't call it vibrant although that is changing fast as Columbus State University rapidly expands in Uptown Columbus.
Believe CSU has nearly 500 students living downtown. Street traffic has increased dramatically. Seems like there are new restaurants and bars opening up all of the time. Downtown Columbus is seeing major growth right now.

He's correct in what? That downtown Savannah is "easily" the most walkable and urban place in all of the South? Or that it's even more walkable than large northern urban centers? You'd be hard pressed to find someone familiar with Savannah, Baltimore, DC, and Philly say that Savannah is more urban and walkable than them all but I suppose you could fall into that category.
