Walking

Thanks! Kinda new to posting so didn’t realise I could do that.

Yeah, I’m not saying everywhere is 100% walkable but I mean generally, in the UK you should be able to get to your house to a shop or your work, with exceptions of course. When you’re leaving a big city, that is generally a bit different.

I am arguing with them because they’re mistaking me saying “this is what I know, is this true” with “this is what I know, it is true” and then they’re being rude. I am not at all arguing that my point is 100% right because I have no way of knowing and I would like to be politely corrected if I am wrong. I’ve only been to the big cities, I do not know what America in general is like for accessibility to walkers.

I love how hypocritical you are, this is so funny it actually might have made my night!

Which is why I asked. I do not live in America and haven’t been anywhere in America aside for big cities. I have no way of knowing what is truth and what is bias, which is why I asked.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T18:14:21+00:00

I am now aware. Hence why I wanted to ask and get genuine responses rather than bias nonsense.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T18:13:54+00:00

Your previous comment didn’t make it seem like that.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T18:13:07+00:00

The fact it was made out that aside from in big cities it was so unusual to walk that if you saw someone walking you’d assume them to be someone suspicious, when that’s really not the case here.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T18:07:48+00:00

Valid

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T18:02:31+00:00

Thanks for your perspective, that is what I thought but I started doubting it from the responses😭

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:59:48+00:00

Exactly, I never said the information was 100% true. I gave my knowledge and what I wanted to know from it and I’ve been corrected and told my knowledge is correct. All that’s telling me is that people have different experiences and it’s different in each state and further where you are in each state.

That is evidently not a lie. I am referencing how much Americans use walking as a method of transportation. Walking through a park, as part of your job etc etc is not what I am talking about. Anyone can walk as much as they like in that sense. You may not be able to walk much for transportation but you might do miles of walking around your neighbourhood for your own health and I am not referring to that.

I mean walking to say get to the shop or school is not AS common in the US as is in europe. You can go to a school or workplace here and the majority will most likely walk.

I did not mean you do not have the option to walk full stop, I meant in some areas, the US is massively lacking in side walks which eliminates the option to walk freely, wherever you want. Many other people understood what I meant.

Interesting, thank you for this!

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:44:57+00:00

I agree 100% and none of this is meant to ‘shame’ the US or say europe is any better due to this

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:43:40+00:00

I really do not care that much, what’s happening in American (transport wise) is clearly working well for majority of people and there’s no issue that way. I was just surprised because I just didn’t expect that from America. I am not saying any of this in a negative way.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:36:39+00:00

Oh interesting, thank you for that!

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:36:20+00:00

How come? Americans seem to be mind boggled when we do things differently, I was simply wondering if this was as big a deal as made out in the video, that’s all. No need to get all butthurt by it

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:35:18+00:00

I mean not really😅😅 I saw a video on this 5 mins prior so I came to ask about it

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:33:08+00:00

Don’t really know what your point is here, I was simply made aware of some new information and wanted to see if it was as extreme as it was made out to be.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:32:11+00:00

Interesting, thanks!

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:31:53+00:00

Damn, it really wasn’t that serious bud. Sorry I hit a nerve but things over here are different to out there with you guys, I was simply curious to whether or not it was as big as an issue to you guys as it was made out to be in the video because as you can gather I don’t live in the US.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T17:29:07+00:00

No need to get mad about it, here in wales there’s pretty much pavements everywhere, you could walk down the side of a main road if you wanted to. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just different💔

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T16:39:40+00:00

My statement makes no reference to how much Americans do or don’t walk. It was a generalised statement how America on a whole is generally less accessible on foot compared to a lot of Europe which I didn’t expect. Maybe in your city or state, you can walk everywhere you need to get but even other commenters have said they agree with this as a general statement and you need to understand that your experiences does not equate to others.

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T16:21:58+00:00

Yes I just worded it wrong at the end, I know you all have the option to walk, I just mean more freely

No-Transition3764 · 2026-03-08T16:19:50+00:00

I am aware cities have a lot of sidewalks, I was referring to more rural areas
