Again, wrong. In Italy or France it’s perfectly normal to pop into a cafe for a quick coffee on the way to work.

Okay?..I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. In America people generally don’t do that… Which is a cultural difference… How is that wrong? Lol

@Goblin_Mode @Diplomjodler Is it a cultural difference, or has the US lacking infrastructure forced you to make a different choice?

I would argue lacking appropriate infrastructure to support a walking city is a cultural thing. Americans like their cars man.

I personally would love to see some more public transportation and walkable cities but I know enough “car guys” to confidently say that a substantial percentage of Americans prefer it like this. I think it’s shifting away with each generation but we aren’t anywhere near Europe yet
