    It seems pretty logical. Someone in Texas vs someone in Washington during the summer sure as shit won’t have the same motivation to walk around.

      It has nothing to do with climate and everything to do with the built environment. Cities built for people are pleasent to walk in everywhere. Cities in hot climates that predate cars have dense construction and narrow streets, which provides shade, which makes it fine to walk.

      I’m texas they do the exact opposite. Sprawling oceans of scorching asphalt with buildings so far apart they provide no shade whatsoever. Its not the climate its the built environment.
