Columbus near bottom of walkability survey

Some more short-sighted coverage of flyover territory, again.

from Columbus Business First... yet another bogus survey, from a bit more well-known organization than previous surveys I've posted about, the Brookings Institution. Looks like they're losing some street cred here (pun intended); the issue is the term "regional-serving walkable urban space". By their own definition, which refers to a park-and-walk magnet area and not just walking to and from the store or work, there should be other areas in Columbus which count in the score... Easton, Old Worthington, Grandview, German Village. So Columbus comes in 19th of 30 large cities in walkability; for comparison, Cinci and Cleveland anchor the bottom of the list, probably due to Cincinnati's back-breaking terrain and Cleveland's crime rate (it's not walkable if you're running for your life).
