Being able to walk/wheel chair places regardless of your income or station is freedom. If my car breaks down today, I'm not stranded where I live. I can walk to everything I need, including my job if I was really committed (but I'd rather take the train).
There is no reason that American suburbs are so hostile to walkability. It's very bad for human health (lack of movement and all of the air pollution that cars cause). And of Course sprawling, car-dependent lifestyles are horrific for the planet.

So again that's great you enjoy walking. I don't feel like walking 7 days to Colorado. I would rather drive the 8 hrs. Anything else I can walk/bike/or drive to get what I want near me.
