Respect. That kind of simplicity is not easy to achieve for a lot of people, I think, depending on where they live. I aspire to a walk-first lifestyle, bicycle for longer distance, public transport (bus and train) for further. But so much of urban design and rural infrastructure is car-centric. Sometimes it feels like malicious design, a dark pattern to force people to become dependent on owning automobiles as a necessity for daily living. Imagine if you went for a 10-minute drive instead of a walk.. It would be an entirely different and worse experience.
