>As a parallel, once you learn how to drive you stop walking, as for the primary mode of transportation.

Is this the reason people prefer to drive, or is it due to city planning, societal expectations, etc.?

Plenty of people who live within cities don't own a car, or if they do, walk more than they drive.



I am very pro walkable cities. But imagine walking from SF to LA for business purposes.


City planning by far. In much of the US it is simply unsafe to walk.
