Sure, there’s walking in stores. But essentially: walkability is a luxury for the rich here.
I can write a whole essay on this. Americans themselves aren’t necessarily bad people, quite the contrary. Americans love touching grass and walkable cities and all that cool shit, but it’s so expensive because there’s such overwhelming demand and the ruling class isn’t interested in expanding things. Many Americans are awesome people, but damn are American
s the porkiest porks to ever pork.
People are influenced by their material circumstances. People don't walk, cause US society isn't built for that.
