Urban/Walkable (non-sprawl) cities with the mildest/best weather? (neighborhoods, car)

[Ronnie555]

What are some good ones?

San Francisco is very mild and extremely walkable with lots of cool neighborhoods, etc. Any others?

Looking for warmer weather in general. I know everyone's definition of "best" weather is different so I thought I'd specify.

Austin, Texas. Portland and Seattle don't have bad weather either and they are huge for hipsters. A lot of people now are saying Atlanta has a rising hipster scene as well. I still think you would need a car but as far as I know there are plenty of walkable neighborhoods.

Well, the city spreads to the horizon line, but there are lots of walkable neighborhoods in central Los Angeles.

Interesting. I already had Austin on my radar; wasn't sure how walkable it was though. Sounds good.

I grew up in Seattle. Not sure I want to go back to the grey depressing winters, although I agree the pacific northwest has some cool cities.
