I’m in the US (and in FL no less so it’s routinely 30-38C/80-100F). I moved to my specific house, among other reasons, because it’s about 250M/a quarter mile from a grocery store. I walk there 2x/week and carry back on average about 10kg/20-25 lbs of groceries. Lots of others in my neighborhood do the same, but most of Florida is not built for walking which is incredibly disappointing.
Yeah, the walking infrastructure around here is incredibly weird. Like, my town converted an old rail right-of-way to a gravel trail, which is great, but... There's this warehouse that used to connect to the rail line, so now the trail goes right through the middle of their parking lot/ shipping lanes. You have to cross a truck route to get to it from the residential area anyways, so it doesn't get a lot of use.
