To be fair, I think depending on your mood and weather it can in fact be nicer to be sitting in a climate controlled box with a nice chair and a stereo system

    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.

    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...

    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 pallets of highly-processed product that I see folks haul out of the CostCo.
