  Even better would be sitting in a climate-controlled box, with a nice chair, and a good stereo system… at home, relaxing after a nice walk.

    Sometimes you don’t want to go for a walk, it can be because you’re tired, or because the weather sucks. At that point public transit is best, but depending on how big your town/city is it may not be feasible to fund it properly.

      depending on how big your town/city is it may not be feasible to fund it properly.

      Maybe you mean how spread out your town/city is because of all the car parks (thanks to mandatory parking requirements, etc).

      If a city is spread out that wide, it likely needs a lot more work than plonking in some public transit, but metro and busses can work well together.

      But one step at a time! Lets just make it the right steps.

  Also depending on how much shit you need to transport.

  Even if there was a store within walking distance, I wouldn’t fancy walking with a week’s worth of groceries.

    In a walkable area, you don’t buy for a week at a time, you buy what you need for a meal or two. Popping into the store is a pleasant, 10-minute diversion where you’re likely to see friends and neighbors, not a 2-hour safari overland to the edge of nowhere. It means buying fresh, healthy food, rather than the giant palettes of highly-processed product that I see folks haul out of the CostCo.

      Okay, sure … but on that note … what kind of maniac would put all those fresh fruits and vegetables all just piled together inside, with no packaging at all to keep them separate/intact and then add a baguette in there as well, just stuffed in among the vegetables? And, somehow, the worst part is that they have 4 red peppers, and the peppers aren’t even all in the same general area, they’re just tossed in there randomly…
