But here's the full quote, which is different than pulling out a single sentence:

Quote:
I just have to comment, though, that as encompassing as downtown is, much of it is entirely pedestrian unfriendly. The south half where Rittenhouse Square is situated and the older neighborhoods are is fine. With narrow streets, crosswalks, grid, etc. The area with many of the office towers, the area around Comcast Center, and the boulevard where the museums, and library are is totally pedestrian unfriendly.
I suppose using the word "some" instead of "much" may be more accurate but whatever.
