Our pals moved to Pennsylvania. Big housing estate built in the 2000s. The only access was directly off a dual carriageway by car. Impossible to walk or cycle to, no public transport. Less than a mile to a row of shops but no way of getting to them without a car.

I've stayed in hotels in the US where you can't actually walk to the restaurant or shop next door or across the road, you need to drive between them all.
There's plenty of retail and office park hellholes around medium/large towns in the UK that aren't far off. Plus lots of greenfield housing developments with no amenities of their own that are realistically inaccessible by anything but car.

In South Dakota I was walking from my hotel to a restaurant across the street. Got stopped by police because walking was suspicious.
America is a shithole.

A lot of the more crazy reactions seem to be coming from the US as well where, for many places, walking anywhere is pretty unusual. I've stayed in hotels in the US where you can't actually walk to the restaurant or shop next door or across the road, you need to drive between them all.
Even places where you can walk you won't see a single other person walking, everyone drives.
