In my experience, even the most rural farmland of Germany is more walkable than most American suburbs. Houses are quite far apart, but there's still decent bus service, and you can walk into town in maybe 20 minutes without crossing a highway. Most suburbs are just bad design through and through. They're not really optimal at achieving their goals, and they have countless terrible side effects.
