As someone who grew up in Austin, it was never walkable at any meaningful scale.

Austin was described to me as four quadrants, divided by a giant highway system east-west and north-south. You could walk in a quadrant, but have to take a car to cross into a different one as it is all non-contiguous

It’s barely bikeable with high humidity and 100F temps. They need AC skywalks - the opposite of what exists in Minnesota.
