I live in Austin, Texas.
Roads here are designed to FORCE you to drive.
You cannot walk more than a mile without having to cross a busy intersection.
NO ! More like 1/4 mile.

I have extreme anxiety / panic, as well as fear of driving.
So that makes it easy to live without driving.

You just live in a 300 yard area and never are able to escape.

This is a video on Houston urban planning.
Austin is the same - if not worse because of the huge mass of people moving here.

3:43 in the video is the part where he shows how crazy it was for him to walk 800 meters to a store.
