The US has a lot of places that are car-dependent. You can live in walkable areas, but those can also have much higher cost of living. Where did you end up on that spectrum for where you live right now?

I'm in a rural area so no dedicated walking infrastructure but the side roads are very walkable anyway since there's little to no traffic until you get to major roads. That's where traffic is steadier with semi trucks.

3 miles to the town center where there is a school, fire station, town hall, gas station, park, dollar store and ice cream shop. Not an easy stroll from here but easily bikable

I'm farther in a different rural area, so I get it.
