The real answer as if anyone ITT actually cares is America's infrastructure is not conducive to you just walking anywhere you need to go. Its not a system that was born from convenience, our mindset has been "do whatever the fuck you want, when you want". The car affords that luxury. I dont have to wait 20 mins for the next bus or train and have to walk 5 mins to the platform and 5 more away to get to my destination. I just get in my car and go direct.

If you want to change how we do things and make more walkable cities fine, do that. Good luck changing the collectivr american mindset away from comfy suburb life into everyone-must-pack-into-city though.
