    I think Denver is the least walkable city I’ve ever been in. Was there a few years back and was floored by how hard it was to get anywhere as a tourist without a ride share

      Really depends on the part of town. It definitely wasn’t built with pedestrian or bicycle access in mind when Denver expanded in the 60s-80s, but no city in the US was back then, really. If you’re in a dense area like Cap Hill, it’s great. Overall Denver is set up the same as most western cities, like LA, Phoenix, Albuquerque, but for the most part is better than those. If you want something really horrible try suburbs of Houston where they don’t even have sidewalks.

      I live in downtown Denver and haven’t driven in 12+ years, and rarely (maybe 4x a year) use rideshares. I’m not sure where your plans took you, but there are many of us living comfortably in Denver without a car.
