Owning a car doesn't mean that you have to drive it every day. At this point in time, most of the people who live and work downtown still own a car ...
Honestly, I've never understood this. Owning a car if you don't need it (every day) is vastly expensive.
But you aren't wrong, most people do it.
That being said, the are is at least as walkable as other areas people have insisted are walkable...there is a plaza, parks, schools, within easy walking distance. And it is "transit oriented" and it's very close to ION with fast access to the mall and downtown.
But no, it is not a pleasant place to walk I don't think...especially in the winter with the wind.
