I live in suburbia right now. I love to walk places—I walk to work, to the store, etc.  But my town seems to be built for cars, cars, cars.  The exchange with the interstate is huge, and takes forever to cross, by foot, because the signal timing is designed for cars. Then I cross parking lots to get where I want.<p>I like the idea of having stores with parking in back, having more equal streets rather than privileged highway interchanges, etc.  But in the meantime, having the forest closer to me is not worth the cost of spending more time in the concrete sprawl.
