i lived near mountain view and did not notice this when visiting on my bicycle or the caltrain. sure, it's not the city proper, but mountain view seems rather quaint and really quite pedestrian friendly, at least in the area by the train station.

Try walking from the train station to the nearby Safeway. You'll be lucky if you even make it past the Central Expy.

Well, sure, Castro is walkable, but most of Mountain View isn't like Castro.
