I live in Houston and for many of us, this already is our lifestyle. I live within 2.5 miles of my job. It used to be 3/4 miles, but my company moved to a different building. I can walk to just about any type of store I need.
The one thing the mayor is forgetting is the weather. With the super high humidity year round and high temperatures for at least 4 months (sometimes 6 months), no one is going to walk to work.
I doubt many people will want to live within walking distance of a refinery
