That’s an hour walk- one way- for the the “average” person.
Throw in climate hazards- winter where I live, that walk is happening in -10f temperatures, probably with wind blasting enough to be deadly.
In summer, we typically have temperatures reaching 98-101 f for about a week with muggy-as-hell 80’s for several months. Also enough to be deadly.
Further, let’s say hypothetically, that’s a grocery run. Frozen goods out for that long pose a food safety risk.unless your lugging an ice packed cooler or something… which kinda sounds like my personal version of hell… that’s also likely to, you know, be deleterious to one’s health.
(Okay so maybe you luck out and just get the squirts.)
Not if where you live is a car-centric hellhole with uneven, badly kept or sometimes even nonexistent sidewalks, and where cars are eager to run you over at every intersection because they have a “Why are you walking? You must be a poor so fuck you.” Mentality
2.9 miles isn’t even far. You could just walk.
Only if fully able-bodied and there’s safe footpath present, but yeah, more of us should just walk.

People who can’t walk usually can’t drive either. Stop with this irrelevant “able body” argument.

Yep, have walked such distances semi regularly

I live in Houston. Probably the least pedestrian friendly city on earth. I would still walk over paying that.
