I love living in a walkable city

I live in a walkable city, and (unfortunately), I think that’s my entire personality. Okay, not really.

But it’s just sooo convenient: I can walk 5 minutes to a grocery store, or maybe 15 minutes to a gym, or 20 minutes to a movie theater.

I definitely am very lucky and privileged though, because a lot of people live in “un-walkable” cities, but not by choice. The thing I find sad is that so much of my country has been made unwalkable in the name of progress, and I still find it weird that a human-build urban environment is actively hostile to humans. Any guesses for which country this is?

The US has a few cities that are amazing in terms of walkability: NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, etc, but I find it really sad that we are, in most standards, considered the “top” country, yet very few of our cities can be navigated car-free.
