Not where I live.
That just means the place you live has a serious car dependency problem.
It's actually one of the top cities for cycling infrastructure in the US but it's a large geographic metro area. So unless you're in a few neighborhoods, the people likely aren't that close to where the restaurants are.
@bitchkat @stephen01king I'm not the person you're replying to, but that sounds like car dependency to me. I live in one of the top 30 largest metro areas in the world, and I'd say 95% of the population lives in walking distance of a restaurant. Your city is not the way it is because it's big, but because it was built for cars.
