(1) The south is big. Really big. I am aware of neighborhoods like the one you describe, especially for those who can afford it. Glad you found a corner that works for you but I'm talking about general trends and comparing mediocre midsouth neighborhoods to mediocre northeast neighborhoods, ie the environment an average person must endure, not just what CAN be had if you have the resources and awareness to seek it out. Nevertheless, prior to moving to the midsouth i did not realize this was an amenity I needed to have on my radar, as this does not happen in the northeast (2) I'm not even talking about infrastructure. I'm talking about trying to walk anyway despite having bad walking infra, being willing to do so, trying it, and having issues due to PEOPLE and their attitudes. (3) I said mid south, not south (roughly, texas and its surrounding "client states"... Arguably maybe Missouri. US regional taxonomy is hard and somewhat subjective). It's bad enough I'm generalizing about a whole region, at the very least I want to narrow it down a little more than just "the south"
