I agree, DC is a city where you can walk around and get anywhere you want to go. Their metro system opens the entire city up to you. Everything becomes walking distance.
But I don't think you can legislate "get off your fat arse and bike/walk". People are going to do what they like. Right now they're legislating "buy alternative energy cars", and still a lot of people are buying
SUVs (sorry) "crossovers".
