This. Spent a month riding a motorbike across the US and the amount of times I couldn't even get from the hotel to the restaurant next door without driving was insane. No paths, ditches / walls between places, 6 lane highways.
Totally insane.
Also, it's incentivised. Drive through everything; banks & convenience stores where you don't even have to leave your seat.

Ah yes, more than once I've walked through a drive through cash machine as that was the only option.
Last time I was over there this was the walking route from the hotel to the supermarket
and the parking lot when you got there

The states is bonkers for driving. My father in law was working there for a while and an english colleague got picked up by the police for walking down the side of a road to get to a reastaurant which was about 500m from his hotel.

Do you have any idea how uncomfortable a loaded AK on a single shoulder sling is to carry around? And that’s if you’re going ultralight without a spare magazine and ankle gun. A car with a gun rack makes life so much easier.

Pre-pandemic days I used to spend a fair bit of time in the US working, quite often in small towns. It was pretty common that if you wanted to get to the restaurant or supermarket that was next door or across the road from your hotel you would have to drive. There was literally no other way to get there. Outside a few of the cities the place is amazingly car-centric.
