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.
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.
