My city, Somerville, MA ranks #2 on walkability in the state of Masschusetts (topped by neighbor Cambridge - but yeah we are used to that...still our running club is faster than theirs...). And we are 5th among 70,000+ population cities in the U.S. and 10th overall in the U.S.. This is why I can pretty accurately say I travel more bike miles + running miles than car miles most years.

How is the site making money? More than ten thousand websites are paying to use its maps/APIs on their sites, most focused on real estate.
