Walking in LA: DTLA is the Most Walkable Neighborhood

In so many ways, DTLA is changing the way we view Los Angeles. Sprawl isn't the only way of life. Nor is it all about getting in the car to grab a cup of coffee or to pick up groceries. And it doesn't have to be about commuting 25 miles each way to get to work. According to Walkscore.com, DTLA has a 93% walkscore, 99% transit score, and 69% bike score (and getting better all the time). This is pretty unusual for Los Angeles, but it shows that you CAN walk in L.A.
