We’re working with different definitions then. I include transit as a part of walkability (and I don’t think I’m breaking with convention in doing so). But even without transit, I’d still put Boston ahead of NHV in terms of walkability. Each of the Boston neighborhoods you mentioned is walkable. Then there’s transit to get between neighborhoods that aren’t directly adjacent. The area around the green in NHV is hardly the size of a single Boston neighborhood. But if I had to compare the downtown NHV area to any Boston area of an equivalent radius, I’d still pick Boston. More shops to stop in along the way.
