When I first came to the U.S. it was shocking how spread out everything is. Each store is an island surround by a concrete lake of parking. It’s absurd. Americans mostly don’t understand what they are missing. We have criminalized aspects of walking. Congregating in groups outside is frowned upon and likely to garner harassment by police. We are a nation of people using cars to go from one building to another while spending as little time as possible outside.

Making it that much worse -- there are no public indoor spaces but libraries.
