No one in their right mind would want to walk to any business in the US due to its urban planning and transport infrastructure.
Even biking is an absurd risk that only rare people dare to make.
In the US it's not abnormal to express the length of even mundane car trips in how many hours you spend driving. That's definitely not a halmark of a walkable region.

Neither of these things are true everywhere in the US. There are many cities where walking and biking are common forms of transportation. But there are certainly many places where the infrastructure appears to be actively designed to kill pedestrians and bicyclist as well.
