It depends what you're walking through! I'll walk for hours on a beautiful nature trail or a pretty, safe cityscape with interesting sidewalk-addressing buildings.
I won't walk for 5 minutes sandwiched between a fast road strip-mall parking lots, industrial facilities, or open fields.
- chrisseaton 5y agoLol what’s wrong with walking next to an open field?
- Talanes 5y agoWalking the small path between a highway and some fields was literally how I got to high school.
- closeparen 5y agoIt's exposed (to the sun and the wind) and it's dull. Inviting pedestrian environments need a sense of enclosure. Can be sidewalk-abutting buildings, can be trees, can be parked cars, can be all three. And they need stuff to look at that isn't monotonous.
- valarauko 5y agoFair enough, but you couldn't do 5 minutes of walking by an open field?
- closeparen 5y agoThat kind of thing usually occurs in low-intensity suburbs/exurbs where I can just drive.
- Talanes 5y agoFor a five minute walk? With having to start and park the car, you might not even make it faster.
