It's not a problem; it's a feature. The fact that walking is more convenient than driving is exactly what makes those cities so great. Any city worth a damn is hard to park in.

Which parts? Chicago's Loop is at least as dense as downtown San Francisco, and the buildings are much taller.

^ That's a neighborhood I've never understood. Prime oceanfront property - probably foggy a lot and freezing cold relatively speaking, but awesome views - and it's like little shotgun houses.

Working class neighborhood, or it used to be, and yes, it's very foggy, windy, and cold.

I've always wondered the same thing about Winthrop in Boston too. In both cases they seem rather run down.

Winthrop is right by the airport. The planes fly so low it appears they could almost take your head off, and the area is LOUD LOUD LOUD! It's beautiful, but I wouldn't want a plane flying right over my house every 45 seconds. Also, it is not the most accessible area in the city. I'm pretty sure it is shaped similar to a peninsula, with only 1 way in and out. The more desirable areas of the shore around Boston are at least 10-15 miles further, either north or south.
