Which of metro (including suburbs) is most walkable and has a population that best integrates walking into daily life? (state, places)

[ForeignCrunch]

The cities in this poll are not conventional urban places with famously robust street scenes. That's okay. I'm still interested in which of them has not only a walkable metro, but where people actually do walk--to the store, cafe, train, whatever. A place where it's not at all rare to see people just walking places or walking for leisure. I'm also asking about metrowide walkability. It's great that a place has a really active urban core, and that is probably an essential start to any walkable metro, but if the streets outside of that urban core are like a scene from Deliverance, then that's not really a walkable place.

Jersey suburbs, no doubt about it.

Eh. This basically comes down to “which metro is comprised mostly of small cities”.

Minneapolis, no doubt about it.

Eh... Which suburbs? A lot of areas in the NJ suburbs look like this https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5274...7i16384!8i8192

Jersey Suburbs? They are very car sprawly as they grew fast during the 40s/50s/60s era from farmland.

Albeit, Hoboken and JC ... Northern NJ suburbs are not very walkable at all.
In my experiences, NJ has some of the least walkable suburbs. Especially around Weehawken, Hackensack, Piscataway, Parsippany, etc..

New Jersey burbs just look like car dependent sprawl like any other suburbs honestly.

I'd go with Philly here.

correct.

I'm thinking with the Jersey suburbs statement, they are thinking of say Maplewood, South Orange, Englewood, Montclair, parts of Teaneck, etc.
