"Walkable" is a bit of a vague term; are they talking about for day-to-day activities, high-intensity fitness walking, pleasant strolls down scenic trails, or what?
Personally, I find Omaha easy and pleasant to get around without a car. I take MAT and walk everywhere. And I feel a lot healthier after only a few weeks of it.
