This is a bizarre take. Most suburbs I’ve seen is actually amazing for walking in.
Sure if there is no sidewalk it sucks, but if you walk where people live usually there is a nice walking path, minimal traffic, lots of families around. I’ve lived in dense urban centers and walking can suck with the crowded sidewalks, always having to cross streets with cars, the noise.
People aren’t walking in malls because of car culture. Usually they walk in malls because it’s too damn hot/cold outside.
