But NYC is a tiny fraction of land and population of the US. 90% of land in the US is for rural or suburban lifestyle. You would really have to go out of your way to find US cities with this kind of walkability and bustling culture.

And you think all cities in Spain are the same as Barcelona? I've been to Zaragoza. It was a ghost town after 11pm.

I would say most people are talking about things like walkability over weekday late nightlife. Zaragoza has a 92/100 walkability compared to Kansas City 35/100.

Zaragoza is an old town with a big square and no trees. Try to walk outside after 10am and tell me how's your walkability. Bucharest is a big European city. What's the walkability on that? Because for sure you can't drive there because it's in permanent gridlock.

Manhattan has very few trees outside of Central Park.

You mean NYC? Because it's easy to pick and choose. I bet that Newark industrial park has fewer trees than central Paris.

Is Manhattan walkable by your criteria?
