True, but … I’m an example of this, where the bars I prefer are farther than walking distance. However I could walk to 3-4, and a percentage of people probably do.

One of the things to remember about walkability is it’s always a numbers game. It can’t be everything to everyone, but the point is to make it most things for most people most of the time. I may drive to bars, but I only go rarely and my goal is a nice meal, a nice microbrew, and a great conversation. I care a lot about the quality of food and beer and am not interested in getting drunk. You may have different criteria

Yeah but it depends on where you at, you can find lots of cities Europe that has tons of bar in a 15mins walking radius, so you can choose whatever you want. But yeah small towns might have only one or two that you might not like much. And also, EU countries has the ultimate cheat activated at almost all times, a good functioning public transportation...so you don't have to take the car... (fuck car dependency )
