I gained approximately 10 pounds over the last year simply because I sit in my car, drive to the front of my office, walk up one floor and then sit on my ass all day long.

There is definitely more potential for walking around a downtown based job. I am not denying that. My argument is that about 90% of the "benefits" of working downtown also exists outside of downtown in many of the office parks or suburb office locations for the average employee.
I personally don't have a large preference to either lifestyle at this time in my life. It just happens that my job is in an industrial area.
