Depends on where you are - refusal to walk is generally found in our suburbs in my experience, generally due to poor city planning. The example I really remember was having to drive about 200 meters to get smokes because there was no path that didnt involve crossing a busy road, and there wasnt even a sidewalk.
Cities are generally better but the culture in some suburbs is that if it's farther away than a football field, time to hop into the car.
