You are an outlier which sure exist, but just look at examples where it is provided. Always surprised to see so many people (including juveniles from age of 6 or latest 8 without adults, til far beyond 60 or 70) bicycling around here, so many that I often get overrun while walking around daily for usually 30-60 minutes a day (which I also didn't do as much prior moving here), its amazing.
(from one of the green districts in Berlin, where walkable neighborhood is far from complete and too many cars around still, really wonder what it could be like in fully designed districts).
Just providing it has a huge impact on a lot of "maybe" people and I think practice proofs this is not backwards thought at all. Not guaranteed, but a huge impact on most, nothing is binary as always.
> In contrast, I bike over 1000 miles a year and walk several times a week. Yet I am not in a walk-able mixed use neighborhood nor have any interest in living in one.
So really like to know, why is that. I can only imagine you are living rural, and now wouldn't understand why anyone living in a dense city would want to have it different.

It's doubtful they could support having all those stores in walking proximity to everyone in my city. Each brand has about one store in my city. Basically it would not provide much value to me as I'd still use a car all the time.
