> WAY more old people can still drive than can walk a mile round trip carrying bags of groceries
Groceries are not a mile away when you live in a walkable neighborhood. My grandparents could easily walk to the corner store to buy their daily groceries until they passed away. Chances are that walking a little every day for their whole lives helped them stay in better shape.
> I mean, if y'all like "walkable cities" so much, why not just move to one
The few walkable neighborhoods where I live are, unsurprisingly, highly desirable and thus unaffordable. In my forties I don't feel like immigrating yet again to another country.
> But no, everyone else has to conform to what you think is best
The immense majority of the large metropolitan area where I live only allows single family homes to be built. I would like walkable neighborhoods to be made legal again so that offer can meet the existing demand.
Don't you worry, car-dependent suburbs are not at any risk of disappearing in North America.
