>Your description doesn't really sound like any actual city that I know of, ... Do you have a particular city in mind? Actually, it sounds a whole lot like the Phoenix metro area.

These cities were never very pedestrian-friendly. Phoenix is probably the poster child for this. The amount of sprawl there is ridiculous, and there's really no place that's pedestrian-friendly, just because everything is so far apart that it would take forever to get to your destination on foot, even though sidewalks generally do exist.
