I'll never forget one of the first times I visited my parents in suburbia after I had moved away to a very walkable city. I borrowed their car to go to the gym & the grocery store, which were a few miles away, but less than a block apart from each other. After finishing up at the gym, I walked across the parking lot to the car, and as I'm climbing in, I caught myself and was like, "WTF am I doing, I should just walk," so I did, but it was pretty miserable. The design of everything was just so car-centric and very unfriendly to pedestrians.

A few miles but less than a block? Was there a fence in the way or what?

I think their house was a few miles away from the gym and grocery store, which were by each other.

It seems pretty logical. Someone in Texas vs someone in Washington during the summer sure as shit won't have the same motivation to walk around.
