It's like you didn't read my comment. Why would Barcelona be different? I've lived in Vancouver where I had (priorities at that time) like 5 sushi restaurants within 5min walk and a number of bars and nightclubs within 5-10, and bus to my office within 1 minute. I've lived in Moscow where likewise everything was very short walking distance and subway is much better than anywhere in the US, frequency/coverage wise. And in my limited experience better (except for crowds) than e.g. in Munich or even London, only Tokyo really compares. I thought it was good and cars sucked, but I've disabused myself of that notion once I've discovered the wonders of suburbia.
